Investigations
Reflekt has extensive experience with incident investigations and root cause analysis. Reflekt has developed methodology to determine why incidents occur and what can be done to prevent them. The methodology includes an assessment of the causes of incidents in relation to the typical causes of Maj

or Accidents. Health Checks
Reflekt has developed a methodology for assessing the vulnerability of organizations to Major Accident. The methodology is based on extensive studies of actual Major Accidents and theoretical and practical insights into organisational behaviours. Workshops / Seminars
Reflekt can organise and facilitate seminars or workshops to improve knowledge and awareness of the failures in technical, operational and organizational barriers that have led to major accidents:

The Weekly Reflektion 30/2026

The drive for continuous improvement is a key factor in the prevention of Major Accidents however, any improvement requires change and every change has consequences. Sometimes the consequences are not quite as expected. The proverb ‘the way to hell is paved with good intentions’, is an adaption of a quote attributed to the 12th-century abbot Saint Bernard of Clairvaux. He wrote, “Hell is full of good intentions or desires.” The modern phrase evolved over centuries, popularized by English writers like Samuel Johnson.

Will your intentions pave the way to hell?

The Weekly Reflektion 26/2026

Many of the Reflektions we have written concern the observation of, and reaction to, warning signals and misplaced faith in the integrity of barriers to known hazards. Indications that seemed so elusive before the incident, yet in hindsight they seemed so obvious. Barriers that we believed would protect us were not really up to the job. Sometimes the sheer magnitude of the consequences paralyses the organisation in the same way the rabbit freezes in the headlights of the oncoming car.

Do you freeze in the light of an oncoming disaster?

The Weekly Reflektion 25/2026

Reflekt has advocated realistic scenarios for training, exercises and ‘what-if’ discussions in several of our Reflektions over the years. Simulators are an important part of the training process and are essential for preparing people for the challenges they may face in their work. For airline flight crews simulators are part of the job. However, sometimes the scenarios are not fully developed and omit steps or overlook key parameters. When the flight crew are required to handle a situation that they are supposed to be trained for, the scenario doesn’t quite run the way the simulator was set up.

Are your training scenarios realistic enough?

The Weekly Reflektion 22/2026

People have an incredible ability to assess a situation with the minimum of information. This is a characteristic that has evolved. The evolution, however, took place in a significantly different environment to the one we are living in today. While the ability is retained, we have not adapted to the complexity of the modern world. We still jump to conclusions and make almost instant judgements with limited information. Often, we have neither the time, the inclination, nor the resources to find out more, and for most cases it doesn’t matter. In our quest for understanding Major Accidents, we cannot be so complacent. First impressions need to be put aside and a systematic approach to the investigation must be applied.

Is your first impression good enough?

The Weekly Reflektion 21/2026

It is not always easy to predict future incidents that will threaten the integrity of the installations that we build and install. Nassim Nicholas Taleb used these incidents as the basis for his book, ‘The Black Swan’, a subject we have covered in previously Reflektions. While Taleb emphasised that ‘Black Swan’ events by definition cannot be predicted, he did not advocate crossing of fingers and hoping for the best. Companies need to focus on robust and reliable systems and a resilient organisation in order to prepare for the unpredictable.

Are you creating robust and resilient systems?

The Weekly Reflektion 18/2026

Complacency is a feeling of calm self-satisfaction accompanied by an unawareness of actual dangers, deficiencies, or the need to improve. It is often characterized by a smug, uncritical contentment with the status quo, frequently leading to poor decision-making or failure to strive for better results. There is a road to complacency that is sometimes referred to as the degradation sequence and like may roads to disaster it starts off very well and with the best of intentions.

Are you on the road to complacency?

The Weekly Reflektion 17/2026

Organisations can become focused on targets that are not appropriate for achieving the overall goals of the organisation. This can be corrected by responding to warning signs from the organisation, but only if these are recognised, and action is taken.

How bad can it get when your focus is wrong and you don’t listen anymore?

The Weekly Reflektion 16/2026

A thorough investigation of any accident, and in particular a Major Accident is essential to understand, the ‘what’, ‘how’ and ‘why’. Only with this understanding is there a basis for appropriate recommendations. Unfortunately, there are many technical, organisational and administrative factors that seem to get in the way of implementation. Sometimes the memory of the accident fades and priorities change. It is then we need a reminder of the importance of not getting it wrong.

Do you follow up the recommendations from your investigations in a timely manner?

The Weekly Reflektion 15/2026

Reflekt has produced several Reflektions on the ‘human factor’ and it will remain a key topic in the future. There is an increased recognition that the design and operability of complex systems need to account for the human factor and the way people are likely to respond to situations. The human factor can be both the weakest link and the greatest strength. Yes, humans are fallible, however this fallibility extends also to design and operability. When the design fails, or the situation is out with the operational boundaries then the human will be called on to respond and save the day.

Are you getting serious about the human factor?

The Weekly Reflektion 14/2026

The development of Offshore Wind Power is not a typical subject for Reflekt and our quest for prevention of Major Accidents. It is however an interesting subject to illustrate the continuous battle between facts and scientific analysis, and disinformation. Reality is complicated and sometimes needs to be simplified to get the message across. However, this simplification process is influenced by the interests of the people involved and their prejudices and often ends up as disinformation. Studying the experience of others is often a good way to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Do you learn from others?
