A systems approach to food accident analysis
… great strides increasing safety through careful accident analysis leading to changes in industry practices. In the food industry, the current methods of accident analysis are grounded in regulations developed when the food industry was far simpler than today. The food industry has become more …

Systems theoretic accident analysis of an offshore supply vessel collision
This thesis uses Dr. Leveson's Systems-Theoretic Accident Model and Process (STAMP) model of accident causation to analyze a collision in late July 2014 between two Offshore Supply Vessels equipped with software-intensive Dynamic Positioning Systems. The Causal Analysis based on STAMP (CAST) is …

Accident analysis and hazard analysis for human and organizational factors
… safety during the development of these systems, accidents will occur. Safe design of the "socio" parts of the sociotechnical system is challenging. Even if the system, including the human and organizational aspects of the system, are designed to be safe for anticipated system needs and operating …

Cape Town road traffic accident analysis: Utilising supervised learning techniques and discussing their effectiveness
Road traffic accidents (RTA) are a major cause of death and injury around the world and in South Africa. Methods to understand and reduce the frequency and injury severity of RTAs are of utmost importance. There is limited South African literature on modelling RTA injury-severity using supervised …

Probabilistic accident analysis of the Pebble Bed modular Reactor for use with risk informed regulation
… Master Logic Diagram (MLD) for the selection of accident-initiating events and safety classification systems and components, as well as evaluating the risk significance of design features responsible for preventing and mitigating accidents. An implementation example chosen for a detailed analysis …

Maximum hypothetical accident analysis for HEU to LEU fuel conversion at the University of Missouri Research Reactor
… one of which was the maximum hypothetical accident (MHA) analysis. For the 10-minute dose to workers in containment, a committed effective dose equivalent (CEDE) to the thyroid from the radioiodines was 0.889 mrem. To calculate the total effective dose equivalent (TEDE), two different sets …

Road accident analysis in Yemen: the identification of shortcomings in road accident data, data adjustment, cost and development of road fatality model
The true extent of the road accident problem in Yemen is questionable. Some agencies and citizens believe that the safety situation in Yemen is very critical while others disagree with this belief. Both sides however, agree that the road accident problem in Yemen is such that it requires …

Engineering financial safety : a system-theoretic case study from the financial crisis
… socio-technical systems and in developing useful accident analysis methods. However, when it comes to complex systems without clear physical components, the techniques for understanding accidents are antiquated and ineffective. This thesis uses a promising new engineering-based accident analysis …

The underestimated value of safety in achieving organizational goals : cast analysis off the Macondo accident
… Given the magnitude and the complexity of the accident, several safety analyses have been proposed by the international community at different levels of the system involved in the accident. Most of these studies use accident analysis techniques based on chain-of-event models, whose main …

Accident and Injury Prevention: The Effects of Job Factors and Employee Behaviors
… employee safety and the prevention of workplace accidents, but maybe unaware that most accidents are the cause of unsafe employee behaviors. In this study, one company in particular wanted to know where, when, how, and why accidents were occurring in its plant. Accidents of the past three years …

Safety in U.S. Navy Navigation Applying STAMP Processes to Surface Ship Collisions
The collisions and accidents occurring throughout the U.S. Navy surface fleet warranted the appointment of a 34-personnel review team to analyze the three ship collisions and one grounding in 2017. These accidents resulted in 17 U.S. Navy sailors' deaths and damage to the operational ships. There …

Systems-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes (STAMP) Applied to a U.S. Coast Guard Buoy Tender Integrated Control System
The Systems-Theoretic Accident Model (STAMP) developed by MIT's Dr. Nancy Leveson was applied in this thesis to a ship navigation control system used on U.S. Coast Guard buoy tenders. The legacy system installed on the Service's 16 sea-going buoy tenders experienced numerous incidents that had …
