- Using 12 official reports of high-profile disasters, the paper identifies a novel set of socio-technical leading indicators which are common to such events, and suggests new dynamic models of these indicators which can be used to pre-empt disasters and suggest mitigations. The work has been used in Office for Nuclear Regulation guidance and further developed with the Energy Institute (see https://research-information.bris.ac.uk/en/publications/achieving-greater-resilience-to-major-events-organisational-learn – disseminated to 200 member companies). The work forms the basis of an invited case study bid to RAEng initiative https://www.raeng.org.uk/global/international-partnerships/engineering-x, and is Bristol’s contribution to a Bristol-Manchester-Liverpool collaboration: £3M EPSRC bid EP/V005650/1; UK Trusted Autonomous Systems Resilience Node
