Project:
Analysis of Workplace Accidents
In relation to indl / wkplace accidents, use Perrow's
concept of industrial accidents to discuss those discussed in class, in
the notes, in the text, or those that you know of.
1. In relation to Perrow's characteristics of the
system, how would you rate the system consistency of the indl accident
you are examining?
2. How would you rate the system coupling of the
indl accident you are examining?
3. How would you rate the linear system consistency
of the indl accident you are examining?
4. How would you rate the complex system consistency
of the indl accident you are examining?
5. How would you rate the loose system coupling
of the indl accident you are examining?
6. How would you rate the tight system coupling
of the indl accident you are examining?
7. Describe the types of system failure.
8. Finally, describe the direct & indirect causes
& how they relate to Perrow's characteristics of the system.
