Resilience engineering mentioned from the very starting that resilient functionality - an organisation’s skill to operate as required less than anticipated and unforeseen stipulations alike – required greater than the prevention of incidents and injuries. This constructed right into a new interpretation of security (Safety-II) and accordingly a brand new kind of protection management.

Safety-II adjustments defense administration from protecting safeguard and attention on how issues can get it wrong, to effective security and attention on how issues can and do cross good. For Safety-II, the purpose is not only the removing of dangers and the prevention of mess ups and malfunctions but in addition how top to improve an organisation’s potentials for resilient functionality – how it responds, screens, learns, and anticipates. That calls for versions and strategies that transcend the Safety-I toolbox. This ebook introduces a complete strategy for the administration of Safety-II, known as the Resilience evaluation Grid (RAG). It explains the rules of the RAG and the way it may be used to improve the resilience potentials. The RAG offers 4 units of diagnostic and formative questions that may be adapted to any employer. The questions are in response to the foundations of resilience engineering and sponsored via sensible adventure from a number of domains.

Safety-II in perform is for either the protection specialist and educational reader. For the professional, it offers a possible process (RAG) for the administration of Safety-II, with a confirmed music list. for tutorial and pupil readers, the publication is a concise and useful presentation of resilience engineering.
