The Pros And Cons Of Resilience Engineering

Historically, if assessed both are research traditions and particularly in last 30 years, these two schools of thought have produced much articles, books and researchers in parallel. Therefore, while the researchers belonging to HRO were busy in assessing aircraft carriers, air traffic controls and nuclear power plants, the Resilience Engineering researchers were developing conceptualization of problem of error and its eventual consequences for interfaces design in nuclear, aviation and medicine aspects. In early 90s, HROs in relation to the thesis of a normal accident debated the outcome of their investigation whereas the resilience engineers defined the naturalistic side to cognition broaden the approach towards safety with complexity and systems version and at same times developed tools and practical guidance to range of factors; risk assessments, engineers, interface designers and investigators etc. In 2000, the HRO researches developed a tool now known as “collective mindfulness”, at same time cognitive engineers supported the notion of resilience engineering for emphasizing positive side and natural views of cognition of frontline factors mentioned above (Le Coze, 2016).

This isn’t without implications as it derives from the level of analysis and the purpose as well as origins of the disciplines for example; a sociologist working for HRO is certainly not resilience or cognition scientist (Le Coze, 2016).
