This gave birth in the 1970s to “man-made disaster theory.” It was really the first to see accidents as the result of a drift into failure, and to focus on the organizational blunt end to explain that drift.11 This theory was a call to understand accidents not as sudden phenomena where energy was not contained, but as phenomena over time, where people and whole organizations subtly changed their idea of what was risky in the first place.
