Bringing Tripod Delta to France for the analysis of organizational factors

Abstract : This paper deals with the Tripod Delta method aiming at assessing organizational failures in the working environment. Ecole des Mines justifies why this method was selected among several organizational safety assessment methods currently available. Since its development by Leiden and Manchester Universities, the method has been very successful at the companies that implemented it. In this context, furthermore sustained by the current need in France for organizational safety assessment methods, three partners (Ecole des Mines de Paris, Leiden University and AdviSafe Risk Management) have gathered around the "Tripod-France" project aiming at bringing the concept to France and experimenting the method on a French pilot plant. The context, objectives and results of this ongoing project are presented in the following paper.
