Fifth Edition
By
Trevor Kletz, Process Safety Consultant, UK
Description
"What Went Wrong?" has revolutionized the way industry views safety.
The new edition continues and extends the wisdom, innovations and
strategies of previous editions, by introducing new material on recent incidents, and adding an extensive new section that shows how
many accidents occur through simple miscommunications within the organization, and how strightforward changes in design can often remove
or reduce opportunities for human errors.
Kletz' approach to learning as deeply as possible from previous experiences is made yet more
valuable in this new edtion, which for the first time brings together the approaches and cases of "What Went Wrong" with the managerially
focussed material previously published in "Still Going Wrong". Updated and supplemented with new cases and analysis, this fifth edition
is the ultimate resource of experienced based anaylsis and guidance for the safety and loss prevention professionals.
