From the text ... 'How managers and supervisors react to an accident can either move the organization toward or away from a learning culture. In this regard, a 'Just Culture' cultivates a learning culture. Traditionally, we have approached accidents the same way as we look at crimes: as an event that something (typically someone) actively caused. Crimes are committed and accidents are caused, and someone needs to be held accountable. This isn't fair or just. Accidents (or 'unintended outcomes') are not crimes, and a Just Culture will not treat them as such.'
