Loss of Memory as a Cause of Failure of Foresight in Safety
Original language description
Loss of memory that degrades foresight in safety, especially implies a loss of knowledge of Early Warning Signs. With this focus, four aspects of memory playing a crucial role in foresight are identified which enable four different abilities (awareness for vigilance, recognition for sense-making, investigation for detection, and follow-up). They are associated with three faculties of human memorisation (encoding, storing, retrieving). Thus, difficulties for maintaining the memory useful for foresight fall into twelve categories of loss of memory. The individual aspects of memory important for foresight are distributed among different humans on different levels of hierarchy in socio-technical system. Organisational memory is a complex concept, phenomenon and system which relies on several aids, functions and artefacts (documents, procedures, processes, structures). Safety management measures can reduce some kinds of loss of memory without duplicating efforts but organisations should direct proactive specific measures against relevant categories of loss of memory.
