Description

Society at large tends to misunderstand what safety is all about. It isn’t just the absence of harm. When nothing bad happens over a time period, how are you aware you are protected? Actually, safety is what you and your people do moment by moment, day by day to offer protection to assets from harm and to keep an eye on the hazards inherent in your operations. This is the purpose of risk-based thinking, the key element of the six building blocks of Human and Organizational Performance (H&OP).

Generally, H&OP provides a risk-based approach to managing human performance in operations. But, specifically, risk-based thinking enables foresight and flexibility―even when surprised―to do what is necessary to offer protection to assets from harm but also achieve mission success despite ongoing stresses or shocks to the operation. Even if you cannot prepare for every adverse scenario, you’ll be ready for almost anything. When risk-based thinking is integrated into the DNA of an organization’s way of doing business, people will be ready for most unexpected situations. Eventually, safety becomes a core value, not a priority to be negotiated with others depending on circumstances.

This book provides a coherent perspective on what executives and line managers within operational environments wish to focus on to efficiently and effectively keep an eye on, learn, and adapt.
