Abstract
The risks posed by management are neither addressed by risk analysis nor included in safety cases. Yet they have been shown to be significant contributors to accidents. This paper argues for more attention to be paid to them and for the development of a risk-analysis method to address them. The paper examines the aspects of management risk that it might cover and offers a set of proposals for its design.
