Professionals, experts, and super experts

Abstract

In this Industrial Safety Opinion Piece, FonCSI’s Director, René Amalberti revisits two well-known, but often misunderstood con-cepts: rule-based safety and managed-based safety. He begins by highlighting the dangers of oversimplification. Then, he proposes several levels of managed-based safety, ranging from ‘professionalism’ to ‘super expertise’, and ends by suggesting some ways to integrate these profiles into the organization.
