Managing the Risks of Organizational Accidents

Reason, James. Managing the Risks of Organizational Accidents. Aldershot, UK: Ashgate, 1997.

Why this matters here

James Reason's Managing the Risks of Organizational Accidents analyzes how aviation and other high-hazard systems treat incidents and near misses as sources of learning rather than threats to institutional trust. When Trust Stops Tracking Reality cites that investigative stance as the opposite of denial: trust that remains revisable when anomalies appear, not trust that must be protected from them.
