Just Culture and Human Factors Analysis and Classification

Can anyone recommend the best books to buy in relation to the practical implementation of a "Just Culture" model and HFAC approach to accident investigation?
Ideally I want something that is for general industry and not aviation or health care specific as well as giving practical steps and examples.
Thank you
Linda

For reliable, valid material on these matters outside aviation and healthcare, best to look up back issues of relevant professional journals including Safety Science, Journal of Applied Psychology, Journal of Organizational Behavior Management and the Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology.
For help in translating the research findings to your own situation, you may be best placed to consult a professional safety ergonomist, occupational or cognitive psychologist to create templates and coach you in their use.

As you explicitly refer to 'books to buy', I've just checked that these relevant titles are available at www.amazon.co.uk:
Handbook of Human Factors and Ergonomics Methods, eds. Neville Anthony Stanton, Alan Hedge, Karel Brookhuis , Eduardo Salas , Hal W. Hendrick, CRC Press, 2004
Task Analysis, eds. Kirwan B, Ainsworth, L. Taylor & Francis, 1992.
While these volumes are comprehensive guides, unless you're trained and experienced as an ergonomist, you're likely to need one familiar with safety ergonomics to help you to figure out what techniques to select and how to apply them.

James Reason is the doyen of accident aeitology and a 'just culture', so Google his name.

I'm interested to read your observation that James Reason is 'the doyen' of a just culture. I have several of his books and find no reference to it in any of them.
Please let me know what references you refer to.

Found one title by Reason with discussion about 'just culture' - primarily about the aviation industry, one of the sectors explicitly excluded from the scope of the enquiry
While Sydney Dekker has been the leading researcher about 'just culture', he doesn't much explore techniques relevant in 'general industry'.

Being pedantic we could argue that Prof Reason is the doyen accident aetiology and refers to a 'just culture' in some of his books and articles. That said, if you Google 'James Reason "just culture" books' you will find a list of books, articles and references as long as the post nominals after your name - LOL!
