I love when people use acronyms without explaining what they stand for. > The hypothesis underlying the new model, called STAMP (Systems-Theoretic Accident Model andProcesses) is that system theory is a useful way to analyze accidents, particularly system accidents.In this conception of safety, accidents occur when external disturbances, component failures, ordysfunctional interactions among system components are not adequately handled by the controlsystem, that is, they result from inadequate control or enforcement of safety-related constraints onthe development, design, and operation of the system[0] [0] - http://sunnyday.mit.edu/accidents/safetyscience-single.pdf http://sunnyday.mit.edu/accidents/safetyscience-single.pdf
