Abstract
Risks associated with new technologies, as well as risks
due to new configurations of old technologies, have been
linked with recurring major accidents in societies. For
example, in Finland, a change in the configuration of the
wastewater purification plan in 2004 resulted in around
8000 people succumbing to illness (Heikkilä et al. 2011)
and during the year 2010 the new building construction
procedures caused risk of collapse and even the collapses
of over ten ceilings or roofs in public sport centre
buildings (Safety Investigation Authority 2011).
This study presents the new multidisciplinary method for
authorities to tackle in advance the risks caused by new
technologies. It is based on distributed cognition, use
of implicit and tacit knowledge and group work. The used
tool is based on future wheel method.
