Reviews
’The petroleum industry has spearheaded the use of advanced solutions in the shape of Integrated Operations. Understanding how a new technology affects both safety and efficiency requires a strong combination of engineering and social science. This book uses a thorough knowledge of modern offshore operations to discuss the central methodological issues, and illustrates how they can be used to solve the practical problems.’ Erik Hollnagel, Centre for Quality Improvement, Denmark ’This important book scrutinizes the practices and effects of integrated operations in relation to operational safety in the petroleum sector in general and for offshore drilling operations in particular. By drawing on a framework that integrates actor network theory with traditional and emerging safety frameworks Haavik presents a controversial and important perspective of integrated operations that has implications for practice outside the petroleum sector.’ Vidar Hepsø, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and Project Manager Statoil R&D, Norway ’This is a thoughtful, well-structured academic book which leads the reader carefully through the author’s research to its logical conclusion.’ The RoSPA Occupational Safety & Health Journal, November 2013
