Dear Jan:

Do you have an electronic version of your paper on the
anaesthetic catastrophe analyzed using the Reason model?
I'm working on a chapter on system design failures and am
looking for good worked out examples to include. Yours
sounds like it might be a good candidate.

Many thanks.

Judith
