Proactive Risk Management in a Dynamic Society
- Share to:
The objectives of the present study are to better understand
the mechanisms of major accidents in the present dynamic
and technological society. From this understanding, guides to
improved strategies for industrial risk management are sought.
It is important to consider carefully the present changes in
a modern society when planning for industrial risk management.
We are facing a period of technological change, deregulation,
fierce competition, and increasing public concern. In a
dynamic environment, hazard sources, their control requirements,
and sources of disturbances change frequently and risk
management can no longer be based on responses to past
accidents and incidents, but must be increasingly proactive.
That is, risk management must apply an adaptive, closed loop
feedback control strategy, based on a measurement or observation
of the level of safety actually present and an explicitly
formulated target safety level. Due to human flexibility and
creative intellectual powers, a human organization presents a
particular potential for such an adaptive control, given the
right conditions – people are a very important safety resource,
not only an error source
