Safety practice is undergoing a major shift in thinking but practitioners often struggle to translate its principles into tangible changes in safety practices. In Safety 2.1: The Safety Envelope, author and long-time safety practitioner Dr Paul Reyneke bridges this gap, connecting Safety II theory to the day-to-day realities of practitioners.
Through the concept of the 'safety envelope', Safety 2.1 helps practitioners move from today's prescriptive solutions with their focus on individual components and linear cause and effect, to 'Safety 2-thinking' which asks us to look beyond components to their complex relationships and interactions.
Operating within a complex adaptive system (CAS) a concept thoroughly explained in the book this approach prioritises creating the safest possible environment and conditions for work. It then empowers well-trained, experienced operators to make their own safety decisions based on what is in front of them in the 'safety envelope', a central concept woven throughout the book.
In Safety 2.1: The Safety Envelope, you will find:
- A thorough explanation of the complex adaptive system (CAS) and how it applies to safety
- Practical steps for implementing Safety II theory in your workplace
- Insights into the importance of understanding the causes of success in safety management
- The language needed to effectively communicate the paradigm shift to others.
