From Baird Maritime:
Your reviewer very firmly believes that more than ninety-five per cent of accidents at sea, in the air and on land can be attributable, directly or indirectly, to human factors.
While we often hear of causes such as mechanical failure, weather or "Acts of God", in almost every case they could have been avoided if the humans involved had performed satisfactorily.
Produced by a mechanical engineer, maritime surveyor, transport consultant and human factors lecturer, this very well researched and presented book rather re-inforces your reviewer's prejudices.
A great deal of very useful work has been done on this research speciality. It is well and clearly explained here. Anyone involved in any way with maritime training, education or personnel management would be well advised to study this book very carefully.
