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.
