This topic overlaps with https://atexmarket.com/t/8, so here we would like to focus on one question: why do similar incidents keep repeating, even after detailed investigation reports are published?
A few possible reasons: lessons stay at the site where the incident happened, contractors change faster than training, and older units are kept running longer than planned. Do you agree? What has helped your organisation actually learn from incidents at other companies?
Maintenance-related practice is discussed in https://atexmarket.com/t/15
