Dominant Accident Model View Analysis

Introduction and Rationale

At this point in the course, we have seen eight accident reports: six CRM seminal accidents in Module 1; Asiana Flight #214 in Module 7; and Gulfstream IV runway overrun during rejected takeoff in Module 8. Dr. Dekker explained four different accident models in the Understanding your Accident Model reading assignment. What is the dominant accident model view of the eight accident reports?

Assignment: You are tasked with creating a PowerPoint presentation that provides a comprehensive analysis of eight accident reports through the lens of four key accident models: the Chain of Events Model, the Barriers Model, the Systems Theory Model, and the Drift Model.

The accidents include the six CRM seminal accidents in Module 1; Asiana Flight #214 in Module 7; and Gulfstream IV runway overrun during rejected takeoff in Module 8. You will assess whether each accident aligns with one of the four key accident models or if multiple models can explain the events. Your analysis should be research-based, incorporating insights from course readings and any other sources you find relevant.

Instructions

Assignment Requirements: Your PowerPoint presentation should meet the following criteria:

Slide 1: Introduction

• Provide a brief introduction outlining the goal of the presentation.
• State that the presentation will analyze eight accident reports through four accident models.
• Include the names of the four accident models youll be discussing: Chain of Events Model, Barriers Model, Systems Theory Model, and Drift Model.

Slide 2: Overview of Accident Models

• Define and describe each of the four accident models.
• Provide key characteristics, differences, and similarities between them.
• Discuss how and when each model is typically applied in accident analysis.

Slide 3: Comparison of Accident Models

• Compare the four accident models, emphasizing their similarities and differences.
• Highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each model in explaining accidents.
• Discuss any overlap between models and how they may complement each other.

Slide 4: Accident Report Analysis Introduction

• Briefly explain the purpose of the analysis: matching the accident reports to one or more models.
• Outline the method you will use to analyze each accident report and how youll justify your model selection.

Slides 5-12: Individual Accident Report Analyses (One slide per report) For each of the eight accident reports, create a slide with the following content:

• Accident Overview: Provide a brief description of the accident (2-3 sentences).
• Dominant Accident Model(s): Identify the dominant model (or models) that best explain the accident.
• Reasoning: Provide a detailed explanation of why this model(s) applies to the accident, referencing specific events from the report. Use bullet points for clarity.
• Supporting Research: Cite research or readings that support your choice of the model(s).

1. Note: If the accident can be explained by more than one model, be sure to explain how and why both models are relevant.

Slide 13: Conclusion

• Summarize the key findings from your accident report analyses.
• Highlight any patterns or trends you noticed in applying the models.
• Discuss how understanding these models can contribute to improving safety practices and accident prevention.

Slide 14: References

• Provide a list of all sources cited throughout your presentation, using proper APA format.
• Include at least the course readings and any additional research sources you used.

Additional Notes

• Ensure that your analysis is research-based and not just based on personal opinions.
• If you find relevant external sources, be sure to incorporate them to support your reasoning and strengthen your analysis.
• Pay attention to grammar and spelling; errors may affect your grade.
