abstract="Recent industrial accident studies have noted that various organizational variables, e.g. department boundaries, management--worker communication, training programs, can have a high impact on accident occurrence. They have also noted a lack of methodology for organizational design that reflects the needs of safety. Sociotechnical systems theory is outlined as a possibly useful structure and methodology. The redesign of an underground mine is presented as a case study where safety was an important issue. Principles derived from numerous Sociotechnical designs are analyzed as to their potential applicability to safety problems.<p />",
