The Shaken Foundations of Safety

Overcoming Human Resources and Skills Shortages

This book presents the results of the strategic analysis on “Safety, skills and careers by 2040,” in particular the work of the experts invited to the international academic seminar held in late 2024.

Focus on the book

The authors put forward avenues to address the threats weighing on safety in high risk industries as a result of skills related challenges. The book examines the consequences of job transformations driven by technological developments, digitalization, unfavorable demographic trends, and the lack of attractiveness of certain high risk industrial sectors, both today and in the near future.

Focus on the book

The authors explore the complex relationship between activity silos and performance, with a particular focus on high risk sectors such as industries – where safety is critical – and the healthcare sector. They examine the reasons behind the formation of silos and analyze their advantages and disadvantages for social systems.
