The ‘systems approach’ is now widely embedded within other safety-critical domains such as aviation, healthcare, transportation and process control and its benefits to safety and organisational learning have been significant. Through exploring the systems approach to accident causation and prevention, Clare will demonstrate the importance of looking ‘up and out’ for contributory factors and prevention strategies. She will challenge the traditional approach to risk management and assessment which largely focuses on hazards and actors within the immediate context of the delivery of the activity.
