Pretty much sums it up from what I've seen in airline life. They sound kinda dumb when they first teach you the dirty dozen, but once you're out in the industry it only takes a few months to start noticing just how (sadly) true they are...

The book "The limits of expertise" by Dimukes, Berman, Loukopoulos is a compelling read about the causes listed here and other, sometimes systemic, sometimes more subtle causes.

Curiosity killed that cat. I still have some lives left.

Wonder if I could dig up my accident prevention notes from my commercial groundschool (probably packed well away in the attic at this point...).
Going by memory alone, the signs of danger:
1) hazardous attitudes (behavior attitudes not aircraft attitudes )
2) fatigue
3) an overwhelming need to press on to the destination, despite indications that it might not be safe (coloquially called "get-there-itis")
I know there's more, just seem to be drawing a blank at the moment.
Then there's the personal checklist for aviators, which is I'M SAFE
I- Illness-Am I sick?
M- Medication- have I taken any non-approved meds?
S- Stress- Is personal stress weighing on me?
A- Alcohol- have I abstained for the required period, and am I 100% sober?
F- Fatigue- did I get an appropriate amount of sleep and rest before the flight?
E- Emotions- Are any emotional problems pulling me down?
The FAA came up with the aviator's checklist based upon many years of extensive accident research with NASA and the NTSB into human factors behind aviation accidents.

That's an interesting list. I understand most of them and how they can effect the safety of a flight, but was wondering would you be able to elaborate on (7) Lack of Resources and (12) Norms please?

If practised in daily life,these safety nets do help.

Lack of resources => not having the right screws => window missing at 10000 feet

That was more a case of, in a hurry, these screws look right, let's go.

Not in that case.....It was bad lighting,not following rules & complacency.

Bad lighting is again a lack of resources (as is e.g. a lack of manpower or the correct tools). Not following the rules might fall under "norms" ("You can´t spend the whole night reading the IPC, I´ll tell ya these are the right screws, get going and get some work done like your mates!").
