Reflekt is a company focussing on Major Accident prevention and our services include;

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 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?

The Weekly Reflektion 13/2026

We would all like to lead fulfilling lives for as long as possible. We are lucky to live in times where both life expectancy and quality of ‘late-life’, are increasing. However, we often don’t understand the factors that influence our life expectancy, and we fail to adjust our lifestyle and habits. Effectively we leave it up to chance. How disappointed we are when death takes us earlier than expected. Similarly, when we don’t experience a Major Accident, we may not really understand why, and we are also disappointed when the Major Accident occurs on our facility. Wouldn’t it be good to know, so that we can do something about it.

What are the factors that will determine whether you have a Major Accident?

The Weekly Reflektion 12/2026

We really do want to believe that the safety of our operation is good, and that risks are being managed to an acceptable level. Sometimes we manage to convince ourselves by selecting the information that confirm the belief and ignore contradictory information. Once we have established our view, it takes a lot of effort to change it. Unfortunately, the game changer may be a Major Accident, and it is with this bitter experience that the picture fades and reality rushes in.

Are you too easily convinced that safety is OK?

The Weekly Reflektion 11/2026

Computer simulations are used extensively in industry and numerical analysis is an inherent part of the simulation process. Finite element analysis in the design of structures and computational fluid dynamics in aerodynamics, are two examples. The more we use these simulations the more familiar we become and the less critical we are of their flaws and limitations. We take it for granted that the results of the simulation will lead to an acceptable design. Aesop, when composing his fables, and Chaucer, when composing his tales, both highlighted the danger of familiarity breeding contempt. And they didn’t have a computer.

Does your familiarity breed contempt?

Mathematician Manil Suri in his Scientific American discussion of crack modeling, raised a concern on the application of computer simulations. These often produce results that appear precise and authoritative, even when the underlying assumptions are flawed. According to Suri, the mathematics of cracking and structural failure is extremely sensitive to modeling choices. Small inaccuracies in geometry, material behavior, or boundary conditions can lead to dramatically different predictions about when and where cracks will form. Without critical review by experienced and competent engineers, the simulation results could lead to a flawed design.

The Weekly Reflektion 10/2026

When everything looks normal, things might be going well. When a culture of questioning and challenge is in place, weak signals that things are not quite right may be better identified.

Just because it seems normal, is it OK?

The Weekly Reflektion 08/2026

Our mental health is continually being challenged by the stress in our everyday lives. The news we see and hear is dominated by theheadlines and it is often difficult to assess what is really importantand why. Our brains are perhaps being trained to avoid reading in depth, to be satisfied with the headlines. This can be a problem when we are following complex procedures in our operation.

How are you taking care of your mental health?

The Weekly Reflektion 07/2026

There is always so much going on and the list of things to do never seems to get smaller. Despite many things getting done, new activities pop up all the time. In any organisation the pressures on management to perform and achieve objectives, to create a good working environment and ensure the operation is safe and effective, is high. Managing all the activities and all the expectations inevitably requires prioritisation. The art of selecting what the organisation should focus on, and what the organisation should not focus on. In Reflekt’s worldview this prioritisation should be guided by the basic principle of, you don’t need to get everything right; you need to get the big things right. Major Accidents are undoubtably a big thing, so you always need to prioritize this.

Are you getting the big things right?
