This open access book examines the increase in outsourcing,
contracting and subcontracting as ways of organising work. It
explores the impact of these employment arrangements on public
safety, particularly when they are linked to complex supply
networks in a range of engineering industries including oil and
gas, nuclear power and aviation. The brief provides practical
recommendations on how best to manage arrangements that target
short-term profitability and also maintain excellence in long-term
safety outcomes. The brief is a source of advice for organisations
on how to maximise the benefits and minimise long-term system
reliability issues that can be introduced by contracting and
outsourcing, rather than assuming it to be a wholly negative or
positive practice. Contracting and Safety comprises qualitative,
empirical studies focusing on high-reliability organisation. As
such, this brief provides a rich picture of the experience of
working in complex supply chains. It will be of interest to
researchers in industrial safety, as well as safety professionals
and project managers within engineering industries.
