The 7 Commitments from “A Manifesto for Reality-Based Safety Science”

For reference, I have listed the 7 commitments from A Manifesto for Reality-Based Safety Science below:

1. We will investigate work, rather than accidents, as our core object of interest
2. We will describe current work before we prescribe changes
3. We will investigate and theorise before we start measuring
4. We will directly observe the practices that we are investigating
5. We will position each piece of research in an appropriate disciplinary context, informed by research practices and recent advances in that discipline
6. When researching safety methods, we will prioritise real-world case studies over worked examples
7. We will treat practitioners as respected partners
