Synopsis

Why do well-intentioned safety programs sometimes miss the mark? Why do accidents still occur, even when procedures are followed? And why do organisations often struggle to learn from failure?

This thought-provoking book introduces the groundbreaking insights of sociologist Niklas Luhmann to the field of Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) management. Instead of focusing only on checklists, compliance, or behavior-based safety, it invites readers to consider how risk and safety are influenced by communication, meaning-making, and social structures.

Written for HSE professionals, safety leaders, risk managers, and reflective practitioners in general, this is not a typical 'how-to manage safety' manual. It is a fresh sociological perspective for understanding complexity, uncertainty, and adaptation in high-risk environments. Drawing on systems theory, organisational sociology, and real-world experience, the book opens up new ways of thinking about familiar challenges.

Whether you're curious about systems thinking or looking to enrich your approach to risk and safety, this first volume in the Risk + Safety / Sociology series offers insight, challenge, and space to rethink what it means to manage safety in complexity.
