abstract="The quest to explain and understand the cause of accidents is both ever-present and  ongoing amongst the safety science community. In an attempt to advance the theory  and science of accident causation, researchers have recently formalised a set of '15  systems thinking tenets' that cover the conditions and characteristics of work  systems that are believed to contribute to the cause of accidents. The purpose of  this study was to attempt to identify the systems thinking tenets across a range of  different systems and accidents using the Accident Mapping (AcciMap) method. The  findings suggest that the tenets can be attributed to play a role in accident  causation, however as a result of this process, the capability of AcciMap has been  brought into question. Implications and directions for future research are  described. Practitioner statement: This study is an extension of previous work that  suggested there was a need to test for the 'systems thinking tenets of accident  causation' in a multi-incident dataset. We used AcciMap to evaluate whether it has  the capability to support ongoing accident analysis activities in ergonomics  research.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
