- More about Compliance and Initiative in the Production of Safety: A Systems Perspective on Managing Tensions and Building Complementarity
The book challenges the prevailing notion that compliance with a rule system and proactivity are incompatible, demonstrating that they are complementary resources that increase safety. It also explores the way in which compliance and initiative are articulated at different levels within a firm and analyzes how safety authorities, the justice system, and the general public perceive and interpret such strategies.

The book challenges the prevailing notion that compliance with a rule system, imposed from the top of an organization and designed to anticipate possible hazards in system operation, is really incompatible with the idea that the professional expertise of front-line workers is what promotes safe outcomes despite inevitable unanticipated perturbations. The contributors, drawn from academic and industrial backgrounds, demonstrate that rather than being at odds with each other, rules-compliance and proactivity are in fact complementary resources the coexistence of which increases safety. Furthermore, the implications of this approach extend beyond safety, being relevant to business performance, strategies for innovation and system resilience as well.
The book takes a broader perspective, examining the way in which compliance and initiative are articulated at different levels within the hierarchy of a firm, right up to that of top management. Additionally, the contributors analyze the way in which safety authorities, the justice system, and the general public perceive and interpret such strategies, particularly in the aftermath of major events.
This book is of interest to researchers and graduate students in safety science and organization studies, as well as members of expert bodies and experts in industry and consultancy concerned with similar subjects.
