Systemic causation model design management

In the causation model presented in this chapter, there is a plea for recognition of the impact an organization s culture has on causal factor development, as well as for a balanced, systemic approach that addresses the design and engineering, the management and operational, and the task performance causal factors. 

Strong emphasis is given in this causation model to the causal factors that arise out of less than adequate design management practices. As the term is used here, design encompasses aU processes applied in devising a system to achieve results. 

Or, assume that the causation model is to relate to the concepts on which the management oversight and risk tree is based (a) the system safety idea and (b) an understanding that causal factors may derive from workplace or work methods design.
