Book Reviews of The Field Guide to Understanding Human Error

Book Review: The best guide to how to investigate error
Summary: 5 Stars

Essential reading for any safety investigator. An eye-opening way to transform your investigations by moving from the old-view to the new-view. I've used this book as a 'course book' for a seminar of 25 safety professionals to great effect. Plus there is a good guide to the role of a safety department too.
