First time it appears in the text (at least in the searchable portion in Google Books) is on pg. 62.
" . . . in the years preceding the Challenger launch, engineers and managers together developed a definition of the situation that allowed them to carry on as if nothing was wrong when they continually faced evidence that something was wrong. This is the problem of the normalization of deviance."

Link to Diane Vaughan website at Columbia[edit]
Columbia changed their web pages so that Ref 1 now goes to a different Sociology professor.
Tried very unsuccessfully to correct it in the Wikipedia page.
Some more adept Wiki editor might be able to fix it. Correct URL: https://sociology.columbia.edu/content/diane-vaughan
