商品描述
This book provides a comprehensive view on theories, models, and techniques used to investigate and analyze incidents and safety causalities occurring in sociotechnical systems. Consisted of intricately interconnected components, sociotechnical systems are always prone to incidents. These incidents can ensue with adverse effects on employees and the public, the environment, and company's properties and reputation. Sometimes, a single incident has the potential to terminate the operation of a business forever. As incidents are multi-factorial and not easy to comprehend, they should be investigated systematically in a structured way so as to find their root causes and prevent them from recurring. Consequently, there have been developed many theories, models, and techniques aimed at accomplishing this goal. However, each approach has its own upsides and downsides, and there is no universal one applicable to all cases. Therefore, researchers and practitioners may sometimes find it difficult to select the most appropriate approach for the given case. After introducing theories, models, and techniques pertaining to incident investigation and safety causalities modeling, this book explains each one in details and discusses their pros and cons. The book aims to provide the audience with a step-by-step guidance for performing incident investigation and analysis. At the end of each chapter an example is analyzed by the introduced tool. Finally, the book offers criteria based on which an incident analysis technique can be selected.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書提供了對於用於調查和分析社會技術系統中發生的事件和安全因果關係的理論、模型和技術的全面觀點。社會技術系統由錯綜複雜的相互連結的組件組成，始終容易發生事件。這些事件可能對員工和公眾、環境以及公司的財產和聲譽產生不利影響。有時，一個單一事件就有可能永遠終止一個企業的運營。由於事件是多因素的且不易理解，因此應以系統化的結構化方式進行調查，以找出其根本原因並防止其重現。因此，已經開發了許多旨在實現這一目標的理論、模型和技術。然而，每種方法都有其優缺點，並不存在一種普遍適用於所有案例的解決方案。因此，研究人員和實務工作者有時可能會發現選擇最合適的方法來應對特定案例是困難的。在介紹與事件調查和安全因果關係建模相關的理論、模型和技術後，本書詳細解釋了每一種方法並討論其優缺點。本書旨在為讀者提供逐步指導，以進行事件調查和分析。在每章的結尾，將通過所介紹的工具分析一個範例。最後，本書提供了選擇事件分析技術的標準。
作者簡介
Esmaeil Zarei joined as Associate Professor of Safety Science the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) in Oct 2022. Before that, he was with the Center for Risk, Integrity and Safety Engineering (C-RISE) at the Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada (2020-23). He worked for over two years as Faculty Instructor, 2012-14, and three and half years as Assistant Professor, 2017-20, in the Department of Occupational Health and Safety Engineering in Iran. Prior to joining the faculty, he had also worked as Safety and Risk Engineer for three years at the Iranian Petroleum Health Organization. During these periods, he held different positions like Founder and Director of Safety, Occupational Health Labs and Student Research Center, and Executive Manager in the Industry Innovations & Partnerships Office. He also taught over 1000 hours of continuous training in Safety and Risk Engineering subjects in various industries like oil and gas, steel manufacturing, and mining.
Esmaeil is deeply passionate about creating impact through innovative science and engineering, focusing on Safety, Risk, Resilience Engineering, and Human Factors/Reliability. He conducts primary research in these areas, particularly in emerging sectors like the Hydrogen Economy and critical industries such as Aviation and Process Industries. At the Robertson Safety Institute (RSI) at ERAU, he generates fundamental knowledge applied to diverse sociotechnical systems. With experience spanning four universities in three countries since 2012, Esmaeil collaborates actively with industry partners and leading academic institutions worldwide. He has (co)supervised over 20 Master's and Ph.D. Theses and serves on Editorial Boards for reputable journals at Elsevier. His contributions rank him among the top 2% of scientists by Stanford University for three consecutive years since 2021.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
Esmaeil Zarei於2022年10月加入艾姆布里-瑞德航空大學（Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, ERAU）擔任安全科學副教授。在此之前，他曾在加拿大紐芬蘭紀念大學的風險、完整性與安全工程中心（Center for Risk, Integrity and Safety Engineering, C-RISE）工作（2020-2023）。他在伊朗的職業健康與安全工程系擔任教職超過兩年，2012年至2014年擔任教學講師，2017年至2020年擔任助理教授。在加入教職之前，他還在伊朗石油健康組織擔任安全與風險工程師三年。在這些期間，他擔任過創辦人及安全、職業健康實驗室和學生研究中心的主任，以及產業創新與合作辦公室的執行經理。他還在石油和天然氣、鋼鐵製造和採礦等各行業教授超過1000小時的安全與風險工程持續訓練課程。
Esmaeil對於透過創新科學與工程創造影響充滿熱情，專注於安全、風險、韌性工程以及人因/可靠性。他在這些領域進行基礎研究，特別是在氫經濟等新興領域以及航空和過程工業等關鍵產業。在ERAU的羅伯森安全研究所（Robertson Safety Institute, RSI），他生成應用於各種社會技術系統的基礎知識。自2012年以來，他在三個國家的四所大學擁有豐富的經驗，並與全球的產業夥伴和領先學術機構積極合作。他已（共同）指導超過20篇碩士和博士論文，並在Elsevier的多本知名期刊擔任編輯委員會成員。他的貢獻使他在2021年以來連續三年被史丹佛大學評選為前2%的科學家。
