Developing an adaptive safety system requires dedication to trust, respect, and communication. Organisations need to trust the people that work for them to perform the tasks, respect their knowledge and ability to create productivity, and communicate transparently across the organisation. To have a pre-occupation with understanding the organisations failures (no matter how small) to truly learn and to use these failures to monitor and anticipate possible future events. Refusing to simplify their understanding of the of the tasks and the related interactions from the internal and external environment to extend their learning and continuously monitor change. All this builds sensitivity to the organisations complex environments to enable work to be performed in ways to improve productivity, efficiency and safety, while allowing the experts performing these tasks to shine. This helps build the organisations capacity to produce while building the safety of work. Enabling employees to develop, participate and control their health & safety outcomes creating the capacity for the organisation to be resilient.
