Abstract "Marine accidents can occur at any time and everywhere in the world, resulting in loss of life, property, environment and reputation of the companies involved. Preventing accidents and establishing a safer world without accidents is an important agenda for the maritime industry. Since the enforcement of International Safety Management Code in 1998, companies have taken various kinds of measures to prevent accidents. Unfortunately, measures have been undertaken in a disorganized manner, and have not been effective. Experts of risk management, safety management system, and accident models have each undertaken accident preventive measures within the scope of their specific fields, but have not looked beyond the realm of their own fields. This book discusses systematic accident prevention by integrating multi-disciplinary expertise based on academic research, and quality management system which has already proved its effectiveness in other fields, and findings of author's research. In systematic accident prevention, the weaknesses of a system within which accidents and incidents have occurred, are viewed by combining scientific accident investigation data based on the International Maritime Organization model and the accident model"-- Provided by publisher.
