This open access book examines the increase in outsourcing, contracting and subcontracting as ways of organising work. It explores the impact of these employment arrangements on public safety, particularly when they are linked to complex supply networks in a range of engineering industries including oil and gas, nuclear power and aviation.The brief provides practical recommendations on how best to manage arrangements that target short-term profitability and also maintain excellence in long-term safety outcomes. The brief is a source of advice for organisations on how to maximise the benefits and minimise long-term system reliability issues that can be introduced by contracting and outsourcing, rather than assuming it to be a wholly negative or positive practice.Contracting and Safety comprises qualitative, empirical studies focusing on high-reliability organisation. As such, this brief provides a rich picture of the experience of working in complexsupply chains. It will be of interest to researchers in industrial safety, as well as safety professionals and project managers within engineering industries.

This open-access brief offers routes to the solution of the threats to the safety performance of high-risk industries caused by skills challenges. It addresses the consequences of job transformation linked to technological developments, digitalization, unfavourable demographics and the lack of attractiveness of some high-risk industrial sectors, today and in the near future.The first part of the brief highlights the questions:What about the collective dimension of skills, skills acquired outside the professional sphere, or the longitudinal perspective of skills development?Why do we sometimes encounter a “learning wall,” a situation in which the training and mentoring needs of newcomers exceed the capacity for skills transfer from experienced employees?What are the impacts of digital transformation on the dynamics of work groups?The contributors investigate aspects of these topics that are rarely studied or even considered.The rest of the brief explores various solutions that can be considered to meet the skills challenge in a constantly evolving world. The second part offers avenues related to training, while the third focuses on organization and management.Rather than providing standard answers, the brief provides a strategic, organizational and contextualized perspective on maintaining and developing skills for the future of high-risk industries in a changing world.Researchers and practitioners in safety management and human resources issues will find this brief an important source of original thinking on problems that are becoming more and more current in safety-critical industries as they are in many others.
