High Reliability Teams: Why they matter in promoting organizational safety

How can organizations effectively use High Reliability Teams to promote safety? High Reliability Teams have the ability to promote safety through task-relevant knowledge, high levels of communication, and adapting to the environment. Such teams are effective, social in nature and feature team members with high task interdependency and shared, common values. High Reliability Teams can promote safety at the workplace.
Research on firefighting teams, aircraft carrier crews and other teams that deliver high performance in a complex and challenging environment provide insights into evidence-based practices on how to reach a world-class safety level

Safety climate: Using High Reliability Teams to improve safety in organizations

High Reliability Teams (HRTs) use particular methods and share values that enable an effective safety climate. This Dossier draws on theory and research on HRTs and provides a series of broad recommendations that enable the implementation of policies for a strong safety climate within organizations.

How to implement an effective safety policy from an evidence-based management point of view?

In this CQ Dossier we focus on how to implement an effective safety policy. We draw on safety research to propose a series of recommendations on how to implement such a policy. The dossier describes the key elements of an effective safety policy and then describes how best to implement these characteristics to create an effective safety climate for the organization.
A safety policy that is backed by a strong management commitment and supported by all employees is the very basis for an effective safety climate.

How to improve workplace safety. The science behind zero accidents and a safe working environment

This CQ Dossier focuses on what constitutes an effective safety climate and how to improve workplace safety in general. Recent disasters such as the Grenfell Tower Fire incident illustrate the importance of safety in the work environment. At the Grenfell Tower, people escaped using a single staircase and while more than 65 people were rescued, an estimated 71 people died and countless others were injured. We draw on theory and research to describe how organizational practices can increase the level of workplace safety.
An effective safety climate is a prerequisite for a high health and safety level at work.

Human error is more than meets the eye: How to prevent workplace accidents with a systems approach

In investigating accidents, most professionals determine that many of the reasons why they occur is due to human error. However, research shows that most accidents occur due to a failure in systems rather than people (Reason, 1990). This CQ Dossier describes how the utilization of a systems approach can reduce workplace accidents.
Most workplace accidents occur due to issues in the work system rather than human errors.
