TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Application of the SOL methodology for the post analysis of an adverse event during a search and rescue operation JO - International journal of occupational safety and ergonomics A1 - Czabán, Csaba A1 - Jackovics, Peter A1 - Kis, György SP - 1 EP - 8 VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Experiences show that during the investigation of accidents, focusing on the direct causes of the event and thus ignoring other facts that also contributed to the event from the background is a recurring problem. In this paper we set out to present the lessons learnt from applying a novel approach by using the SOL (event analysis) methodology for the analysis of an occupational accident. We used this method to analyse a fatal accident during a search and rescue operation, where the victim was one of the members of the Search And Rescue (SAR) team. Our analysis also reviewed some contributing factors, which had not been identified by the previously conducted official investigation. As part of our method, we reflected on these factors by specifying concrete management measures, thus laying the foundations of organisational learning.
