Aim of the workshop

The aim of these workshop, affectionately referred to as the FRAMily meetings, is to share experiences from research and practice using the FRAM for systems modelling, event and safety analyses, design, or similar applications. Users are encouraged to share their experiences ofstrengths and weaknesses of the method, and to provide ideas for further developments.

Participation

The workshops address the uses of the FRAM in a variety of fields.This one, like the previous workshops featured the FRAM in safety investigations, risk analyses, work studies, performance management, planning, and design in different industries as well as academia.
