Abstract We describe a method of modelling organisational causes of accidents, using Bayesian Networks. A rigorous method is used to relate interactions within the organisation operating the system to causal factors for accidents. Using examples from a model of the causes of SPAD incidents in the UK railways, we describe how such a model can be used for risk assessment.
