Description

In many industries, humans are often viewed as a hazard or a source of error within complex systems. This book by CRC Press offers a different perspective by examining the human role in system reliability and resilience. While many studies focus on how unsafe acts lead to catastrophic breakdowns, this work looks at the other side of the equation: the human as a hero. Through an exploration of adaptations and compensations, the text investigates how people bring troubled systems back from the brink of disaster. It asks fundamental questions about what these successful recoveries have in common and whether these vital human abilities can be identified and passed on to others. This book is an essential resource for professionals interested in the mechanics of safety and system resilience. It moves beyond traditional views of human error to understand how human intervention can prevent disaster and maintain the stability of well-defended systems.

Key Features

Explore the role of humans as heroes who use adaptations to save troubled systems from disaster.

Analyze the difference between viewing humans as system hazards versus viewing them as contributors to resilience.

Examine the commonalities found in successful heroic recoveries within complex, well-defended systems.

Investigate if human abilities used during crises can be captured and shared with others to improve safety.

Gain a new perspective on human contribution to the reliability and stability of high-stakes environments.
