The Absence Of A Just Culture In An Organization, In A Country, In An Industry, Hurts Both Justice And Safety. Responses To Incidents And Accidents That Are Seen As Unjust Can Impede Safety Investigations, Promote Fear Rather Than Mindfulness In People Who Do Safety-critical Work, Make Organizations More Bureaucratic Rather Than More Careful, And Cultivate Professional Secrecy, Evasion, And Self-protection. A Just Culture Is Critical For The Creation Of A Safety Culture. Without Reporting Of Failures And Problems, Without Openness And Information Sharing, A Safety Culture Cannot Flourish. Drawing On His Experience With Practitioners (in Nursing, Air Traffic Control And Professional Aviation) Whose Errors Were Turned Into Crimes, Dekker Lays Out A New View Of Just Culture. This Book Will Help You To Create An Environment Where Learning And Accountability Are Fairly And Constructively Balanced. Why Bother With A Just Culture? -- Between Culpable And Blameless -- The Importance, Risk And Protection Of Reporting -- The Importance, Risk, And Protection Of Disclosure -- Are All Mistakes Equal? -- Hindsight And Determining Culpability -- You Have Nothing To Fear If You've Done Nothing Wrong -- Without Prosecutors, There Would Be No Crime -- Are Judicial Proceedings Bad For Safety? -- Stakeholders In The Legal Pursuit Of Justice -- Three Questions For A Just Culture -- Not Individuals Or Systems, But Individuals In Systems -- A Staggered Approach To Building Your Just Culture. Sidney Dekker. Includes Bibliographical References And Index.
