title: An Engineer's View of Human Error
author:  Trevor Kletz 
description: "I believe the book would be a useful one for any ergonomist with safety responsibilities. Such individuals may find their horizons broadened...the book should benefit students in tertiary and vocational education. It would certainly deepen and widen their understanding of accidents and their causation...the book provides a good impetus for efforts to improve the lot of humankind in their interactions with each other and with equipment.."<br />-Murray Sinclair, Department of Human Sciences, Loughborough University, "Ergonomics Abstracts <br />
