Despite their efforts to increase organizational reliability, high-risk industries, such as nuclear power production, have experienced major disasters in recent years. As a consequence, a new form of safety emerged – managed safety, which must be developed alongside regulated safety. Research on high reliability organizations and resilience shows that only a mutual reinforcement of these two forms of safety can ensure reliability and resilience. However, research also shows that the intensive development of one of these forms of safety can jeopardize the development of the other form.
The pioneering research is therefore focusing on the investigation of leadership for safety mechanisms; and the necessary joint development of regulated and managed safety.
