Viewpoints and bias in accident reports

摘要

Accident reports help to ensure that designers and engineers learn from the mistakes of the past. Unfortunately, it can be difficult for readers to trace the increasingly complex arguments that are presented in these documents. The greater integration of production processes and the recognition that accident reports need to address contextual and environmental issues has led to longer and longer documents. This paper argues that Conclusion, Analysis, Evidence (CAE) diagrams can be used to avoid such problems.
