Safety-I and safety-II
Much more than a technical book. Erik's work is a well documented journey into the multiple interactions between safety, work and human nature. A timely contribution to vindicate human beings and their variability from the one sided focus on the evils of human error. A groundbreaking look at 'the other story' that will certainly contribute to safer and more productive workplaces.
Dr Alejandro Morales, Mutual Seguridad, Chile
Safety needs a new maturity. We can no longer improve by simply doing what we have been doing, even by doing it better. DR Hollnagel brings forth new distinctions, interpretations, and narratives that will allow safety to progress to new unforeseen levels. Safety-II is more than just incident and accident prevention. A must read for every safety professional.

Effectiveness- and cost effectiveness of a structured method for systematic and integrated occupational safety and health and patient safety management systems (SIOHPS) – a study protocol for a pragmatic stepped wedge cluster randomised controlled trial
Background
Integrated occupational safety and health and patient safety management are essential for addressing the challenges faced by healthcare services today. Developing and evaluating tools that support this work is crucial. This project aims to assess the effectiveness of a structured method for systematic and integrated occupational safety and health and patient safety management systems (SIOHPS). Additionally, the project includes embedded economic and process evaluation. This article presents the overall design of the SIOHPS-project, with a specific focus on the design and evaluation of the (cost-)effectiveness study.
Methods
The project is guided by the Medical Research Council (MRC) framework for complex interventions and is coproduced with key stakeholders. The intervention is designed to support systematic occupational health and patient safety management systems, incorporating both Safety I and Safety II perspectives. It is grounded in safety culture theory and knowledge about team debriefing for learning. The intervention consists of several core components, including targeted education, end-of-shift team debriefings, and support for systematic management. The intervention is supported by a digital tool. A program theory guides the evaluation. A pragmatic stepped-wedge cluster-controlled design (p-SWD) is used, with hospital healthcare units as clusters. The p-SWD includes three steps, with at least four clusters transitioning from the control to the intervention group at each step. A minimum of twelve healthcare units from two different regions in Sweden will participate. The intervention effect will be evaluated using sick leave and quality of care as primary outcomes. Secondary outcomes include safety climate, work environment factors, healthcare worker health, performance, patient safety and quality of nursing care. Primary and secondary analyses are conducted based on intention-to-treat approach. Cost-effectiveness will be assessed using cost-benefit and cost-consequence analyses.
Discussion
The need of methods that integrate systematic occupational safety and health and patient safety management has been emphasized by different stakeholders worldwide. The SIOHPS study has strong potential for nationwide implementation in Sweden to help healthcare organizations address current challenges. Additionally, the project will contribute to existing safety culture theory by exploring the integration of these domains.

Safety management systems in aviation
\"Safety Management Systems in Aviation, Third Edition presents the quality management underpinnings of SMS, the four components, risk management, reliability engineering, SMS implementation, and the scientific rigor that must be designed into proactive safety. Including coverage on the cultures of regulatory organizations and expanded coverage on culture assessment, the book considers the nexus between cultural maturity and safety management performance. The third edition features new coverage of international requirements and implications for harmonization across international boundaries. In addition, the book includes new chapters and sections, examples, a hypothetical airline-oriented safety scenario, and case studies to enhance and reinforce student understanding. The book is intended for undergraduate aviation students taking Safety Management and Aviation Safety courses. It also functions as a valuable reference tool for SMS practitioners\"-- Provided by publisher.

Implementing Safety Management Systems in Aviation
In their first book, Safety Management Systems in Aviation, Stolzer, Halford, and Goglia provided a strong theoretical framework for SMS, along with a brief discourse on SMS implementation. This follow-up book provides a very brief overview of SMS and offers significant guidance and best practices on implementing SMS programs. Very specific guidance is provided by industry experts from government, industry, academia, and consulting, who share their invaluable insights from first-hand experience of all aspects of effective SMS programs.

Developing Safety-Critical Software
As the complexity and criticality of software increase and projects are pressed to develop software faster and more cheaply, it becomes even more important to ensure that software-intensive systems are reliable and safe. This book helps you develop, manage, and approve safety-critical software more efficiently and effectively. Although the focus is on aviation software and compliance with RTCA/DO-178C and its supplements, the principles also apply to other safety-critical software. Written by an international authority on the subject, this book brings you a wealth of best practices, real-world examples, and concrete recommendations.
