An easy to read book that will test your preconceptions of what is meant by ‘just’. While I wasn’t convinced by the chapter on ethics (omitted Virtues which seem to more closely fit with the notion of Just), and his solutions appear recursive, the book contains more that enough to make it a worthwhile addition to the bookshelf.

This book beautifully lays out the decisions, dilemmas, and unintended consequences of either creating environments in which we can learn from accidents and near misses, or creating environments in which behaviors are hidden from fear of litigation, criminalization, or other punishments for "bad behavior." A must read for anyone trying to cultivate a safety culture in a high-stakes, high-complexity world!

Sidney Dekker, PhD and Boeing 737 Captain has a great way of describing a different approach to dealing with human error that is very proactive, positive, and constructive. It leaves the error maker with improvements to make rather than punishment to bear, and it is one of the smartest ways to approach corrective action when errors are made.
