The Problem Is the Question Pre-Accident Investigations: Better Questions - An Applied Approach to Operational Learning challenges safety and reliability professionals to get better answers by asking better questions. A provocative examination of human performance and safety management, the book delivers a thought-provoking discourse about how we work, and defines a new approach to operational learning.

Instead of managing the outcomes, they must learn to manage and understand the processes used to create them. Create Change in Your Organization Written by a top industry expert, the book provides a new definition of safety and utilizes knowledge from the field and the floor.Ideal for use in safety, human performance, psychology, cognitive and decision making, systems engineering, and risk assessment areas, this book equips the safety professional with the tools, steps, and models of success needed to create long-term value and change from safety programs. Pre-Accident Investigations: Better Questions - An Applied Approach to Operational Learning serves safety managers, safety officers, safety specialists, risk managers loss control personnel, safety engineers, safety auditors, human factors and ergonomics engineers, industrial engineers, safety representatives, lecturers, and trainers.

Critic Reviews

“"In his forward to the book, Professor Sidney Dekker says that questions such as "What rule was broken?" or "What should the consequences be?" are no longer good questions because they are short-sighted and elicit short-sighted answers. Ask better questions and you get the kind of answers that will actually help show the way forward. In this he echoes the aims of this thoroughly entertaining and thought provoking book." --The RoSPA OS&H Journal, October 2016 Issue”
