This book examines a number of such organisations, among them airlines, nuclear power stations, and chemical processing plants. A particular focus of attention is Australia’s air traffic control organisation which, in some respects, comes close to the HRO ideal.The lead author of this volume is Professor Andrew Hopkins, renowned for his work on the organisational and cultural causes of major accidents. He is joined here by his students, and others who have worked with him, to broaden our understanding of how organisations operating with hazardous technology manage to avoid disaster.
