Safety has traditionally been defined as a condition where the number of adverse outcomes was as low as possible (Safety-I) From a Safety-I perspective the purpose of safety management is to make sure that the number of accidents & incidents is kept as low as possible or as low as is reasonably practicable This means that safety management must start from the manifestations of the absence of safety & that
- paradoxically
- safety is measured by counting the number of cases where it fails rather than by the number of cases where it succeeds This unavoidably leads to a reactive approach based on responding to what goes wrong or what is identified as a risk
- as something that could go wrong Focusing on what goes right rather than on what goes wrong changes the definition of safety from 'avoiding that something goes wrong' to 'ensuring that everything goes right' More precisely Safety-II is the ability to succeed under varying conditions so that the number of intended & acceptable outcomes is as high as possible From a Safety-II perspective the purpose of safety management is to ensure that as much as possible goes right in the sense that everyday work achieves its objectives This means that safety is managed by what it achieves (successes things that go right) & that likewise it is measured by counting the number of cases where things go right In order to do this safety management cannot only be reactive it must also be proactive But it must be proactive with regard to how actions succeed to everyday acceptable performance rather than with regard to how they can fail as traditional risk analysis does This book analyses & explains the principles behind both approaches & uses this to consider the past & future of safety management practices The analysis makes use of common examples & cases from domains such as aviation nuclear power production process management & health care The final chapters explain the theoret

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 & 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 & unexpected conditions alike
- required more than the prevention of incidents & accidents This developed into a new interpretation of safety (Safety-II) & consequently a new form of safety management Safety-II changes safety management from protective safety & a focus on how things can go wrong to productive safety & a focus on how things can & do go well For Safety-II the aim is not just the elimination of hazards & the prevention of failures & malfunctions but also how best to develop an organisation's potentials for resilient performance
- the way it responds monitors learns & anticipates That requires models & 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 & how it can be used to develop the resilience potentials The RAG provides four sets of diagnostic & formative questions that can be tailored to any organisation The questions are based on the principles of resilience engineering & backed by practical experience from several domains Safety-II in Practice is for both the safety professional & academic reader For the professional it presents a workable method (RAG) for the management of Safety-II with a proven track record For academic & student readers the book is a concise & practical presentation of resilience engineering
