CLIMATE CHANGE AND SAFETY IN HIGH-RISK INDUSTRI...

This open access book directs attention to the safety implications of disruptive 
sustainability-driven changes in sociotechnical systems resulting from climate-change
considerations in high-risk industries. It addresses not only the dismantling of currently
prevalent systems and structures and the achievement of a stable future state but also the
management of processes for establishing new practices in a safe and reliable manner without
undue interruption of important functions and services. Leading scholars from various fields of
research have contributed to this brief by analyzing case studies as well as through conceptual
and methodological work. They propose strategies for coping with new kinds of risk at local and
organizational levels. The oil and gas and nuclear industries are two cases investigated here.
They present a challenging mixture of continuity and disruption and require strategies for
coping with safety and sustainability issues at the same time. Innovativemethods such as
real-world experimentation and computer-based simulation are discussed as means of
investigating the issues at stake. Climate Change and Safety in High-Risk Industries brings
together critical appraisals of the challenges that will be faced by industry  regulatory
bodies and decision-makers in coming decades. It analyzes whether safety and sustainability are
accurately thought of as competing imperatives or  rather  offer possibilities for a more
cooperative approach to the necessary adaptations in our modes of production and consumption.
