Abstract

This paper discusses occupational accident modelling challenges associated with a changing working life, and asks whether ideas from models developed for high-risk, complex socio-technical systems can be transformed and adapted for use in occupational accident prevention. Are occupational accidents mainly simple component failures or is a systemic approach to the phenomenon of some interest and value?
