Course content
The main focus of the course is major accidents in working life. The course includes different models explaining how such accidents can occur and how they can be prevented. Different perspectives on organizational accidents and resilient organizations are presented: energy-barrier; Normal Accident Theory, High Reliability Organizations, decision-making and conflicting objectives, flow of information, Resilience Engineering and safety culture. An important part of the course is that the combination of man-technology-organization (MTO) is a key to understanding major accident risks. Central theories in a MTO-perspective is provided in the course, including human-factors and human-technology interaction. One part of the course is focused on compliance to rules and procedures. The association between change processes and safety is also addressed. The course also addresses how societal framework conditions such as economy, technology developments and regulatory regimes influence safety management in organizations, and also how organizations adapt to changes in such framework conditions. The course content can be linked to the UNs sustainability development goal no. 8 Decent work and Economic Growth, and target 8.8 - promote safe and secure working environments for all workers.
