Development of the contributing factors Framework interview guide (CFF-IG): All aboard the rail safety truth train

摘要

The Contributing Factors Framework (CFF) tool has been used by Australian railway operators since 2009 in order to assist in the identification of socio-technical and human factor interactions which contribute to rail safety accidents. Whilst the use of the CFF has been demonstrated to be a valuable tool for post-accident safety report analysis, an examination of how the CFF could be used as an interview guide for rail safety investigations immediately post-accident has previously not been explored.
