The Institute for Nuclear Power Operations Anatomy of an Event illustrates the life cycle of error, originating from a latent organizational weakness through the event itself. Included in this life cycle are flawed defenses, error precursors and an individual’s initiating action. Too often after the event, organizations view the actions and decisions of this individual through the lens of backward accountability, reinforcing a mistaken notion of a single point of failure. Predisposed to search for the malefactor, contaminated by a cultural history of viewing accidents through a ‘gotcha’ mindset, corrective action become a cycle of misdiagnoses and faulty prescriptions. This interactive workshop will introduce participants to common mental biases associated with event-triggering actions and provide specific techniques and countermeasures for improving personal error detection and recovery.
