High Reliability Organizations (HROs)

High Reliability Organizations (HROs) are organizations that consistently operate safely and effectively in complex, high-risk environments—such as healthcare, aviation, or nuclear power—despite potential dangers. They achieve this by emphasizing a culture of safety, being mindful of small errors, and continuously improving processes. HROs focus on teamwork, open communication, and staying vigilant to prevent mistakes before they happen. Their goal is to minimize accidents and ensure reliable performance even under challenging conditions.
