OECD-CCA Workshop on Human Factors in Chemical Accidents and Incidents

Another long report from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Published 2008. Available free from the OECD website

The report presents the main output of the OECD-CCA Workshop on Human Factors in Chemical Accidents and Incidents, which took place on 8 and 9 May 2007, in Potsdam, Germany. The overall objective of the workshop was to explore human factors related to management and operation of a hazardous installation, and to share information on assessment tools for analysis and reduction of human error in the chemical industry, including small and medium size enterprises (SMEs).

Seems to provide a good summary of issues, but I can't see anything particularly new.
