What are the repeat failure types across major accidents?
In part 2, I continue my discussion with Emeritus Professor michael quinlan, focusing on his Ten Pathways To Failure framework to make sense of how we can avert disaster.
He found that these disasters were rarely just simple mechanical failures, but linked to recurring pathways, like:
a. Cost cutting & production pressure
b. Gaps in risk assessment that don’t reflect reality
c. Engineering failures
d. Communication breakdowns
And more
Michael also discusses whistleblower programs and provided his Ten Pathways High Potential Incident assessment tool, used for investigations and auditing (link in the video description).
