- This foundational work considers important issues of organisational trust, dependability and reliability in the form of ‘relying’ practices as observed in a dangerous environment, a North Sea oil platform. In terms of ‘Risk’ it suggests that the ecological validity of relying practices should be the focus of risk identification. Published in the International Journal of Risk Analysis. This innovative and important interdisciplinary study was an attempt to study relying as a social practice. The analysis produced four original categories of ecological validity: responsiveness to formal organization, responsiveness to situational contingency, responsiveness to information asymmetry, and responsiveness to socio-materiality.
