AB  - Hendrick is attributed with the formalization of organizational design and 
      management (ODAM) in ergonomics [Hendrick, H.W., Kleiner, B.M., 2001. 
      Macroergonomics: An Introduction to Work System Design. Human Factors and 
      Ergonomics Society, Santa Monica, CA.]. Specifically, the method called 
      "Macroergonomic Analysis of Structure" or MAS provides a framework and analysis 
      of these factors and provides the context for an analysis of organizational 
      design and management process through the MacroErgonomic Analysis and Design 
      method (MEAD). Together, MAS and MEAD represent the formalization of staple 
      methods in macroergonomics and can be used to organize existing tools and methods 
      such as those that exist in systems safety and help to differentiate 
      macroergonomics from other approaches. This article illustrates such an 
      integrative role for macroergonomics with respect to systems safety using the 
      example of the construction sector, a domain in which accidents, injuries and 
      fatalities are all too common.
