ABSTRACT
Things go wrong. It could be a relatively isolated event involving a single person, such as a fork lift truck overturning in a warehouse. Or it could be a much larger event, made up of many individual but potentially interacting events and circumstances, such as can be found in any one of a number of high-prole accidents in nuclear, process control or transport domains. These types of incidents can receive much coverage in the academic literature, published reports and the media or popular press (e.g. the nuclear incident at Chernobyl in 1986; the explosion at Bunceeld in 2005; the train crash at Ladbroke Grove in 1999).
