Safety-I is defined as the freedom from unacceptable harm. The
purpose of traditional safety management is therefore to find ways
to ensure this 'freedom'. But as socio-technical systems steadily
have become larger and less tractable, this has become harder to
do. Resilience engineering pointed out from the very beginning that
resilient performance - an organisation's ability to function as
required under expected and unexpected conditions alike - required
more than the prevention of incidents and accidents. This developed
into a new interpretation of safety (Safety-II) and consequently a
new form of safety management. Safety-II changes safety management
from protective safety and a focus on how things can go wrong, to
productive safety and a focus on how things can and do go well. For
Safety-II, the aim is not just the elimination of hazards and the
prevention of failures and malfunctions but also how best to
develop an organisation's potentials for resilient performance -
the way it responds, monitors, learns, and anticipates. That
requires models and methods that go beyond the Safety-I toolbox.
This book introduces a comprehensive approach for the management of
Safety-II, called the Resilience Assessment Grid (RAG). It explains
the principles of the RAG and how it can be used to develop the
resilience potentials. The RAG provides four sets of diagnostic and
formative questions that can be tailored to any organisation. The
questions are based on the principles of resilience engineering and
backed by practical experience from several domains. Safety-II in
Practice is for both the safety professional and academic reader.
For the professional, it presents a workable method (RAG) for the
management of Safety-II, with a proven track record. For academic
and student readers, the book is a concise and practical
presentation of resilience engineering.
