Codetermination: A business and government partnership in procedural safety for ecological sustainability

In this manuscript I take an interdisciplinary, systems approach to the reg ulation of risky operations that can harm ecological environments. I develo p safety procedures aimed at minimizing the risks of operational failures a nd industrial accidents. The procedures are designed for practicing manager s and regulatory agents to use in partnership across four interactive level s of analysis: individual (managers and regulatory agents), organizational (risky operations), industrial (groups of risky organizations) and societal (ecological environments).
