Question 1
Think about the values, norms, beliefs, and practices related to incident prevention in your current (or a past) workplace.

Question 2
In the conclusion to Chapter 4, Manuele states: “To avoid hazard-related incidents resulting in serious injuries, human error potentials must be addressed at the cultural, organizational, management system, design, and engineering levels, and with respect to the work methods prescribed.” Briefly discuss how each of these levels contributes to human error. Which one of these levels, if addressed, is likely to result in the greatest benefit for reducing human error reduction? Your response must be at least 300 words in length. You are required to use at least your textbook as source material for your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.
