Resilience is becoming a prevalent agenda in safety research and organisational practice. In this study we examine how the peer-reviewed safety science literature (a) formulates the rationale behind the study of resilience; (b) constructs resilience as a scientific object; and (c) constructs and locates the resilient subject. The results suggest that resilience engineering scholars typically motivate the need for their studies by referring to the inherent complexities of modern sociotechnical systems; complexities that make these systems inherently risky. The object of resilience then becomes the capacity to adapt to such emerging risks in order to guarantee the success of the inherently risky system. In the material reviewed, the subject of resilience is typically the individual, either at the sharp end or at higher managerial levels. The individual is called-upon to adapt in the face of risk to secure the continuous performance of the system. Based on the results from how resilience has been introduced in safety sciences we raise three ethical questions for the field to address: (1) should resilience be seen as people thriving despite of, or because of, risk?; (2) should resilience theory form a basis for moral judgement?; and finally (3) how much should resilience be approached as a trait of the individual?

“…More specifically, the definitions used include resilience as 'the ability to adapt to or absorb disturbing conditions' (e.g. [15,35,43,[60][61][62]); resilience as 'the ability to keep the system within its functional limits' (e.g. [44,63]); and resilience as the four corner-stones defined by Hollnagel (e.g.…”

“…Firstly, to cope with side-effects of being resilient (see [23]), secondly to prepare structures for being resilient (see [22]). Furthermore, there is a problem of anticipating and detecting side-effects of adjustments that are made to cope with events [23]. Those side effects need to be differentiated from side effects from the response activities per se, for instance side effects from usage of chemical means to control an outbreak of insects.…”

“…To meet this challenge, we need to understand what the core functions of resilient systems are, and what the relations between them necessary to fulfill the demands are. Over the last ten years, the authors have developed these ideas [4,5,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]; which now are applied in the following model, called SyRes (Systemic Resilience Model). The model is systemic -focusing on constraints emerging from the system context, from functional dependencies, and from resilience strategies.…”

Abstract. It has been realized that resilience as a concept involves several contradictory definitions, both for instance resilience as agile adjustment and as robust resistance to situations. Our analysis of resilience concepts and models suggest that beyond simplistic definitions, it is possible to draw up a systemic resilience model (SyRes) that maintains these opposing characteristics without contradiction. We outline six functions in a systemic model, drawing primarily on resilience engineering, and disaster response: anticipation, monitoring, response, recovery, learning, and self-monitoring. The model consists of four areas: Event-based constraints, Functional Dependencies, Adaptive Capacity and Strategy. The paper describes dependencies between constraints, functions and strategies. We argue that models such as SyRes should be useful both for envisioning new resilience methods and metrics, as well as for engineering and evaluating resilient systems.
