Abstract

Although this book concentrates on the safety of complex systems, it seemed to me that it would be useful to finish with a presentation of the major historical discontinuities and the successive principles that have guided human and organisational factor (HOF) processes in enterprises.

Footnotes
1
Fordism was not very far from Taylorism and dates from the same period. It involved pushing standardisation to the extremes on the Ford production lines and compensating workers for this by paying them a high salary (“five dollars a day”).
 
2
The Toyota Way was invented by engineer Ohno on the Toyota production lines, and its aim can be expressed in terms of five zeroes: zero stock, zero faults, zero paper, zero breakdowns, zero delays.
 
3
The principle of precaution was formulated for the first time in the Rio Declaration in 1992, and initially only applied to environmental risks. It was rapidly extended to the whole field of major medical risks. For example, read Gollier [11], or Guilhou [12].
 
4
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals) is a European Regulation which came into force on 1 June 2007 and was intended to create a framework for registration, evaluation and certification of chemical substances and the restrictions applicable to those substances.
