Opinion Piece: A response from Jean Pariès to René Amalberti on expertise
In January, FonCSI published an “Industrial Safety Opinion Piece” on rule-based safety and managed-based safety written by René Amalberti, Director of FonCSI. Today, the Foundation is publishing a response from Jean Pariès, Scientific Director of ICSI-FonCSI, entitled: “Is expertise dangerous? A response to René Amalberti”.
In a previous Industrial Safety Opinion Piece (2021–03), René Amalberti argues that there could be a causal link between expertise, autonomy, risk-taking and accidents. In response, Jean Pariès puts forward a different point of view. In addition to challenging the causal link between expertise and accidents, and asserting the benefits of expertise for safety, he proposes that we can integrate super experts into organizations by using their meta-competencies and by relying on the workforce.
