High-reliability management is a set of practices and competencies that help Organisations operating in high-hazard environments maintain a low risk of accidents. These Organisations recognise the inherent risks associated with their operations and actively work to minimise them, even in complex and challenging circumstances.
Clear and understandable core management competencies are needed to prevent 'preventable' accidents.
Dr Maher's research provides valuable insights into the complexities of high-reliability management. His emphasis on managerial competencies, the cultivation of a "high-reliability habitus," and the need for robust compliance regimes offers a practical framework for improving safety in organisations operating in high-risk environments.
This is a compelling and readable book about managing risks in organisational systems.
