Abstract
This paper presents an applied assessment by two professional marine accident investigators of ‘Work As’ approaches, used to understand the local rationality of seafarers involved in the Kaami marine accident. The approach used was to consider three different perspectives to how work was conducted onboard the Kaami vessel. The ‘Work As’ approach was found to be highly useful during the investigation providing insights into the perspectives of those involved in the accident that probably would not otherwise been identified.
