Operational Decision-making in High-hazard Organizations (eBook, PDF)

Drawing a Line in the Sand

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book describes research on safety-related decision-making by operations supervisory personnel in three different high-hazard industries, and features a case study illustrating each: a chemical plant, a nuclear power station and an air-navigation service provider. The focus of this research is unique: those who supervise the frontline personnel and essentially provide the organizational link between senior management and minute-by-minute system operations.
