STAMP AN ACCIDENT MODEL BASED ON SYSTEMS THEORY

The three main concepts in this model—safety constraints, hierarchical control structures, and process models—are introduced first in chapter 4. Then the STAMP causality model is described, along with a classification of accident causes implied by the new model. [Pg.73]

To provide additional understanding of STAMP, it is used to describe the causes of several very different types of losses—a friendly fire shootdown of a U.S. Army helicopter by a U.S. Air Force fighter jet over northern Iraq, the contamination of a public water system with E. coli bacteria in a small town in Canada, and the loss of a Milstar satellite. Chapter 5 presents the friendly fire accident analysis. The other accident analyses are contained in appendixes B and C. [Pg.73]
