Engineers need RUDENESS: an extension of Trevor Kletz's approach to accident investigations

Original language description

Trevor Kletz belongs to the pioneers in root cause analysis of accidents. This article summarizes Kletz's approach to accident investigations, and it points out that his approach has some gaps that sometimes need to be addressed. These gaps seem to be related to certain assumptions taken for granted by Kletz but not always fulfilled in the real world. In general, Kletz assumes that professionals and leaders are honest and responsible. In fact, Kletz deliberately strives to avoid blaming. Therefore, Kletz gives no guidance of what to do when leaders' negligence contributes to an accident. This article expands the Kletz approach to include this aspect of process safety. Two acronyms are used to describe the difference between the Kletzian (more ideal) and non-Kletzian world. The engineering approach that follows Mr. Kletz's vision is depicted by the word RUDE, where R is for Reliable equipmentthe need for engineers to provide R; U is for Understanding itthe need for engineers to understa
