The contents examine the conventional viewpoints on human errors, incubation of errors, complexity and organisational deviance as a cause for accidents. Work of Mary Douglas with regard to risk, Charles Perrow's work on the normal accident theory and Diane Vaughan's theory on normalisation of deviance are examined from a fresh perspective in this book. It also discusses prominent accidents in aviation, space, nuclear energy, automotive and healthcare, using the pandemic and Boeing 737 Max as a backdrop to study accidents and disasters. It further explores the background and similarities to these events and addresses the core issues such as the state of regulation, the worldview of the sociologists, and proposes that mental models of complex systems, avarice and risk for gain as other possibilities for accidents. Using the concept of nudge in behavioural economics and the Elinor Ostrom?s viewpoint on regulating for common good, it suggests a way forward through the High Reliability Organisation Theory (HRO) leading to enhanced risk perception. The book will be of interest to those who would like to understand the need to incorporate risk perception into regulation, engineers and scientists, professionals and policy makers working in the areas of disaster and risk management, technology areas like aviation, nuclear plants, space and healthcare, students of the sociology of risk and of course the general reader. 606 $aIndustrial engineering 606 $aProduction engineering 606 $aFinancial risk management 606 $aPsychology, Industrial 606 $aVehicles 606 $aScience?Social aspects 606 $aIndustrial and Production Engineering 606 $aRisk Management 606 $aWork and Organizational Psychology 606 $aVehicle Engineering 606 $aSociology of Science 610 $aSociology 610 $aSocial Science 615 0$aIndustrial engineering. 615 0$aProduction engineering. 615 0$aFinancial risk management. 615 0$aPsychology, Industrial. 615 0$aVehicles. 615 0$aScience?Social aspects. 615 14$aIndustrial and Production Engineering. 615 24$aRisk Management. 615 24$aWork and Organizational Psychology. 615 24$aVehicle Engineering. 615 24$aSociology of Science. 676 $a302.12 700 $aChandra$b Satish$0250933 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910733706803321 996 $aAccidents and Disasters$93397856 997 $aUNINA
