Opening The Black Box Of Human Error

"Opening the Black Box of Human Error" is a specialized book that addresses the complex nature of human errors in socio-technical systems. The author, Dr. Anthony Masys, employs various theoretical approaches, including Actor-Network Theory and systems thinking, to illuminate the multifaceted relationships that can lead to errors. The book offers a new perspective on accident causation by highlighting the interactions between human and non-human actors. It argues that human errors cannot be viewed in isolation but are part of a larger network that encompasses both technical and social elements. This analysis is particularly relevant for professionals in the field of Human Factors who seek a deeper understanding of the dynamics of complex systems and their influence on accident causes.
