ABSTRACT

Knowledge of the nature and extent of the I-LED phenomenon gained from previous chapters is combined in Chapter 7 to design and test several practicable I-LED interventions aimed at defending against the networking of latent errors that can lead to an organisational accident or degradation in system performance. I-LED interventions are tested on a new cohort of naval aircraft engineers. Of those tested, a simple stop, look and listen intervention is found to be the most effective at making the system safer. The application of I-LED interventions is argued to offer a further step-change in safety thinking by helping to manage system induced human error effects through the deliberate engagement with cues that trigger recall, thereby facilitating Safety II events.
