In the resilience engineering approach to safety, failures and
successes are seen as two different outcomes of the same underlying
process, namely how people and organizations cope with complex,
underspecified and therefore partly unpredictable work
environments. Therefore safety can no longer be ensured by
constraining performance and eliminating risks. Instead, it is
necessary to actively manage how people and organizations adjust
what they do to meet the current conditions of the workplace, by
trading off efficiency and thoroughness and by making sacrificing
decisions. The Ashgate Studies in Resilience Engineering series
promulgates new methods, principles and experiences that can
complement established safety management approaches, providing
invaluable insights and guidance for practitioners and researchers
alike in all safety-critical domains. While the Studies pertain to
all complex systems they are of particular interest to high hazard
sectors such as aviation, ground transportation, the military,
energy production and distribution, and healthcare. Published
periodically within this series will be edited volumes titled
Resilience Engineering Perspectives. The first volume, Remaining
Sensitive to the Possibility of Failure, presents a collection of
20 chapters from international experts. This collection deals with
important issues such as measurements and models, the use of
procedures to ensure safety, the relation between resilience and
robustness, safety management, and the use of risk analysis. The
final six chapters utilise the report from a serious medical
accident to illustrate more concretely how resilience engineering
can make a difference, both to the understanding of how accidents
happen and to what an organisation can do to become more resilient.
