Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Learning from Incidents (LFI) is a seminar series advancing research that informs policy and practice in health and safety. Effective learning from incidents is critical for people working in hazardous environments, to ensure they are safe at work and to protect the environment from catastrophic accidents. This research is interested in improving our understanding of the theories, methods, practices and policies related to learning from incidents. The seminar series is the first of its kind in the world. Learning from incidents is important across a range of industries and is relevant for professional and government bodies and third-sector organisations concerned about Health and Safety. The series brings together practitioners and policymakers with researchers from a range of academic disciplines to provide new theories, methodologies and organisational change methods that can be applied by organisations to improve health and safety across a range of industries. Running for two years, the seminar series comprises six interdisciplinary seminars, including presentations from researchers, practitioners and policy makers from a range of industry, health and commercial contexts, allowing sufficient time for debate and discussion and stimulating co-production of knowledge. Participants are established scholars and early-career researchers from the UK, Finland, Italy, and Spain who have expertise in Adult and Organisational Learning; Sociology (Sociology of Risk and of Work); Industrial Psychology; Human Factors Engineering; and Ethnomethodology. Series' participants include practitioners from a range of industries (BP, Phillips66, Land Securities, Sir Robert McAlpine, FirstGroup plc, McNicholas Construction, Barhale, Balcas Timber, E.ON) and professional and government bodies as well as third-sector organisations (Energy Institute, British Safety Council, Health and Safety Executive for GB). Outputs from the seminar series include an interdisciplinary research agenda in learning from incidents and an edited volume, synthesising scientific contributions from research and relevant case studies from industry.
