INTRODUCTION
Organizational analysis, and the associated organizational paradigm, offer a relevant and effective alternative to the industrial safety analysis methods used to date.
Organizational analysis is based on an in-depth examination of the organization's many "vertical" interactions (between management, experts and field staff) and "horizontal" interactions (between the various entities that make up the organization).
It is accompanied by a dynamic historical perspective on developments – safety deterioration and improvement –.
