Knox, N W; Eicher, R W

This document is intended to help the novice MORT practioneer achieve quicker, deeper insight and understanding of the MORT safety program concepts by: providing a brief explanation of the related rationale supporting the word statement given in a specific event box of the MORT logic diagram, and listing page references to the detailed explanations of the basic MORT text, MORT-The Management Oversight and Risk Tree, published in 1973 as ERDA publication SAN 821-2. Additionally, it is intended to serve as an information document directed to system safety professionals, program managers, and higher level management with responsibility for accident investigation or safety program evaluation. It seeks to explain simply the MORT programmatic concepts and analytical methodology, and to inform those persons that MORT is available now for immediate use: in investigating the elements of management oversight and risk relative to an accident that has happened, or in the evaluation of an existing safety program to determine the likelihood that a significant accident is about to happen.
