17. Blameless Post-mortem and a Just Culture
@Murughan_P
Having a “blameless” Post-Mortem process means that engineers
whose actions have contributed to an accident can give a detailed
account of:
• what actions they took at what time,
• what effects they observed,
• expectations they had,
• assumptions they had made,
• and their understanding of timeline of events as they occurred.

Editor's Notes
Having a Just Culture means that you’re making effort to balance safety and accountability. It means that by investigating mistakes in a way that focuses on the situational aspects of a failure’s mechanism and the decision-making process of individuals proximate to the failure, an organization can come out safer than it would normally be if it had simply punished the actors involved as a remediation.
