Evan Setyawan and Sharleigh Zavaglia speaking on the key fundamentals of resilience engineering.

Resilience engineering is a subfield of safety science that focuses on how complex adaptive systems cope with unexpected events. It’s about understanding and enhancing the system’s ability to deal effectively with surprises and maintain safe operations. This field examines how systems can build, sustain, and sometimes degrade or lose their resilience capabilities.

In resilience engineering, accidents are not seen as a result of human error but as a consequence of the system’s temporary inability to handle complexity under pressure. It’s related to concepts like Safety-II, which emphasizes the importance of understanding normal work to improve safety, rather than just preventing accidents.

Resilience engineering is applied across various domains, including aviation, healthcare, emergency response, and more, to improve safety and performance despite unpredictable challenges.
