“…These instructions aim to contain the failure, to restore the system or to conduct safely the flight with the inoperative system or component (Heymann et al, 2007). Improvement of procedures has been an object of considerable interest in the literature, which points out the need to: (i) combine top-down and bottom up approaches to procedures management systems (Blakstad et al, 2010;Hale and Borys, 2013b); (ii) balance the restrictiveness of procedures (Grote, 2014;Weichbrodt, 2015) in order to avoid over (Bieder and Bourrier, 2013) and under specifications (Van der Lely, 2009); (iii) educate operators to better understand the reasons behind procedures content (Weichbrodt, 2015) and to deviate from procedures when needed (Saurin and González, 2013); (iv) engage operators in the conception and revision processes (Hale and Borys, 2013a;Weichbrodt, 2015); and (v) improve operators-procedures interface by physical and typographic changes (Burian, 2006b;De Brito, 2002;Degani and Wiener, 1993;UK CAA, 2006).…”

“…According to this approach, which we refer to as control instrument approach, procedures are important for safety because they constrain actions, coordinate the activities and present a record of knowledge about how to perform work http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ssci.2016.06.008 0925-7535/Ó 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. (Weichbrodt, 2015). This view is build on the idea that it is possible to cover almost all situations with procedures, that any gap between procedures and practice can be closed, compliance can all but be guaranteed, and, when it is not possible, means for dealing with exceptions can be proposed.…”

“…Por su parte Weichbrodt [5] presenta el problema de la existencia de reglas de seguridad y su incumplimiento, siendo muchas veces el mismo un resultado de la inoperabilidad o mala reglamentación en seguridad en el trabajo. Seguidamente este autor resalta cuatro medidas que las organizaciones pueden emplear para enfrentar estos desafíos en relación a las reglas de seguridad: i) Gerenciar la restrictibilidad de la regla, seleccionando adecuadamente el grado de restricción se reducirán violaciones inevitables a la regla.…”

Resumen-La seguridad y salud en el trabajo es un tema muy basado en normas las que son fruto de conocimientos tácitos que son incorporados en las mismas, tornándolos en articulados de esta forma. Así la norma OHSAS 18001, establece los requisitos mínimos de las mejores prácticas en gestión de la seguridad y salud en el trabajo, entre otros. Muchas veces estos conocimientos tácitos resultan de la observación de accidentes en algunos casos catastróficos, como el caso de la petroquímica de Bhopal en la India. Como consecuencia, de estos eventos indeseados, se establecen nuevas normativas y va actualizándose la normativa existente. Además de las normas es necesario teorizar acerca de los accidentes para prevenirlos y poder entender sus causas. Por lo que identificando esta necesidad, se ha desarrollado una teoría para la prevención de accidentes basada en trayectorias dinámicas extendidas. Son, también, presentados cuatro casos donde se verifica la validez de esta teoría.Palabras claves: análisis de accidentes, prevención de accidentes, seguridad industrial, teoría de trayectorias.Abstract-Safety and health at work is a topic based on standards that are the result of tacit knowledge incorporated in them, turning them into norms this way. So OHSAS 18001 [1] standard's, for example, establishes the minimum requirements for the best practices in managing safety and health at work, among others. Often, this tacit knowledge results from the observation of some catastrophic accidents such as the petrochemical Bhopal in India. As a result of these undesirable events, new regulations are established and will update existing regulations. In addition to the rules, it is necessary to theorize about accidents to prevent them and to understand their causes. By identifying this need, a theory for accident prevention based on extending dynamic trajectories has been developed. Four cases where the validity of the theory is verified, are also presented.Key words: accident analysis, accident prevention, industrial security, theory paths. I. INTRODUCCIÓNntre los antecedentes, a la prevención y análisis de accidentes, tenemos los trabajos de Brody y Poirier [2], quienes proponen una teoría de prevención de accidentes en el trabajo a partir de costos indirectos.Kjellén y Larsson [3] presentan un modelo para el análisis de accidentes en la industria. El mismo consiste en un análisis de la cadena de distorsiones, seguido de una determinación del nivel de los factores donde son resaltadas condiciones de los procesos de producción relacionadas a los accidentes. Una aplicación preliminar de este modelo fue realizada en cinco casos en la industria en Suecia. (reconocimiento, dirección y organización), y también no sociales al nivel de cada trabajador". El enfoque de estos actores tendría cierto nivel de concordancia con lo preconizado en los enfoques socio -técnicos que buscan equilibrar el subsistema social con el subsistema técnico. Dwyr y Raftery [4] sostienen que "los accidentes industriales son producidos por relaciones sociales en el t...

“…The specialized literature in health and safety at work qualifies the nonrespect of work procedures (NR-WPs) as a recurrent problem due, mainly, to the limitations of the WPs themselves [4]. For this, Vidal-Gomel [5] distinguishes three factors, which are largely discussed by different authors; these factors have widely been considered as the sources of those limitations.…”

BackgroundNoncompliance of operators with work procedures is a recurrent problem. This human behavior has been said to be situational and studied by many different approaches (ergonomic and others), which consider the noncompliance with work procedures to be obvious and seek to analyze its causes as well as consequences.MethodsThe object of the proposed method is to solve this problem by focusing on the performance of work procedures and ensuring improved performance on a continuous basis.ResultsThis study has multiple results: (1) assessment of the work procedures' performance by a multicriteria approach; (2) the use of a continuous improvement approach as a framework for the sustainability of the assessment method of work procedures' performance; and (3) adaptation of the Stop-Card as a facilitator support for continuous improvement of work procedures.ConclusionThe proposed method emphasizes to put in value the inputs of continuous improvement of the work procedures in relation with the conventional approaches which adopt the obvious evidence of the noncompliance to the working procedures and seek to analyze the cause–effect relationships related to this unacceptable phenomenon, especially in strategic industry.
