N2  - What are the conditions that influence compliance with and violations of safety rules? Behavioural economics provides a framework on the basis of which it is possible to develop a parsimonious model of these conditions and to derive interventions that are applied relatively easily. It is argued that a major part of the deliberate violations of rules and regulations in sociotechnical systems can be explained as a consequence of the disregard of three propositions of behavioural economics by system designers and managers: (1) unclear or conflicting rules or constraints, (2) delayed, ambiguous or missing feedback, and (3) absence of clear priority rules in cases of conflicts between high-level and low-level safety commitments.     <p></p>
