Concluding Remarks. 330 $aThis open access book examines the increase in outsourcing, contracting and subcontracting as ways of organising work. It explores the impact of these employment arrangements on public safety, particularly when they are linked to complex supply networks in a range of engineering industries including oil and gas, nuclear power and aviation. The brief provides practical recommendations on how best to manage arrangements that target short-term profitability and also maintain excellence in long-term safety outcomes. The brief is a source of advice for organisations on how to maximise the benefits and minimise long-term system reliability issues that can be introduced by contracting and outsourcing, rather than assuming it to be a wholly negative or positive practice. Contracting and Safety comprises qualitative, empirical studies focusing on high-reliability organisation. As such, this brief provides a rich picture of the experience of working in complexsupply chains. It will be of interest to researchers in industrial safety, as well as safety professionals and project managers within engineering industries. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Safety Management,$x2520-8012 606 $aIndustrial engineering 606 $aProduction engineering 606 $aEconomics$xSociological aspects 606 $aProduction management 606 $aIndustrial organization 606 $aIndustrial and Production Engineering 606 $aEconomic Sociology 606 $aOperations Management 606 $aIndustrial Organization 615 0$aIndustrial engineering. 615 0$aProduction engineering. 615 0$aEconomics$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aProduction management. 615 0$aIndustrial organization. 615 14$aIndustrial and Production Engineering. 615 24$aEconomic Sociology. 615 24$aOperations Management. 615 24$aIndustrial Organization. 676 $a670 686 $aBUS082000$aBUS087000$aSOC026000$aTEC032000$2bisacsh 700 $aHayes$b Jan$01214764 701 $aTillement$b Stéphanie$01214765 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910544877803321 996 $aContracting and Safety$92804889 997 $aUNINA
