| Abstract |
The trial of a safety and health audit system is described which focuses on information relating to organizational issues and potential sources of failure rather than on quantitative historical data. The system is based on the philosophy of fuzzy logic. The thinking behind fuzzy logic is discussed along with the meaning of the term "grey data" to describe the data collected by the audit. The method used to construct and test the audit in a large manufacturing company is described. Findings are discussed in terms of the audit itself and the participants' view of the process. |
