Whodunit: Investigating Industrial Accidents

WITH A FOREWORD BY ... Whodunit has much to say about improving investigation techniques, about improving teamwork and multidisciplinary collaboration. But this is not just an upgraded manual for investigators. Poisson digs deeply into the intellectual frameworks that support investigations. Dr Stephen Blank, Senior Fellow Institute for Science, Society and Policy University of Ottawa. Whodunit takes you inside the world of accident investigations, an area that has become increasingly fraught given the challenges of relating root causes of accidents to effective safety actions. Whodunit explores the science and practices of accident investigation set under the umbrella of searching for the truth. The book also introduces the science of communicating findings, a very current topic in this age of fake news and false claims. Captain Marc-André Poisson is a member of the Transportation Appeal Tribunal of Canada. He is the former Director of Marine Investigations at the Transportation Safety Board of Canada and Chair of the Marine Accident Investigators International Forum.
