“…After excluding duplicate studies, the titles and abstracts were screened for 2724 records, and after all inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied 15 studies were included in the qualitative synthesis using the CASP tool ( Table 2). Of the 15 studies, seven studies [23,[36][37][38][39][40][41] were identified through hand searching of the reference lists of all studies [23,27,30,[36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47].…”

“…Six of the studies explored the application and benefits of HRO principles in construction and the barriers [23,[38][39][40]43,45]; four other studies [27,30,42,46] were in general HRO research on origin of HRO, concepts, applicability, and benefits to reliability-seeking organisations. Three studies [36,37,44] were from aerospace, nuclear, and oil and gas industries, and two studies [41,47] were from the health care sector.…”

This study examines the available evidence of high reliability organisational (HRO) theory as a strategy to manage construction safety: (1) Background: High reliability organisations (HROs) have been under investigation by organisational scholars to understand how they function at an exceptionally high level with few or no accidents under challenging circumstances. The construction industry is a high risk industry and is also known for a high fatality rate around the world. This systematic review examines the available evidence of HROs as a strategy to manage construction safety; (2) Methods: A systematic review to summarise and critically appraise the literature on high reliability organisational theory, aimed at improving construction safety; (3) Results: Of 2724 articles found, fifteen studies met the inclusion criteria for qualitative synthesis and review. Six of the studies were from construction, four were from general HROs research, two were from health care, and three were from the aerospace, oil and gas, and nuclear industries; (4) Conclusion: Based on the available evidence, transferring the practices and principles of HROs to construction, the validation of proposed assessing tools and a consensus HRO definitions are the major issues identified.

Toward High Reliability Project Organizing in Safety-Critical Projects

■High reliability organizations claim to be special organizations that have consistently demonstrated safe performance in operating environments, which are simultaneously of high technical complexity, high consequence, and high tempo. This article argues that the literature on high reliability organizing, which emerged through studying dayto-day operations in the nuclear industry, air traffic control industry, and U.S. navy aircraft carriers, might hold important lessons for how the project management community can approach the management of safetycritical projects-projects in which safety is of paramount importance. Its aim is to consider how high reliability organizing might be realized in these safety-critical projects.
