▼ The aim of this thesis research was to find ways to improve
safety in the heavy vehicle transport industry through the development of an evidence-based
safety management system. This research was undertaken in light of disproportionate crash and injury risks associated with the heavy vehicle transport industry in comparison with other industries and other road users. No research to date has attempted to identify a set of
safety management characteristics that are likely to reduce this risk. Although in recent years, work related road
safety research has occurred, the problem of heavy vehicle crash related injury has largely been analysed as a public road
safety road
safety problem and largely dealt with through encouraging compliance to transport regulations. The nature of the trucking industry presents some unique challenges for
safety management at an organisational level. This thesis argues that a “systems approach” with evidence-based
safety management elements can be developed into an intervention program that is likely to improve
safety outcomes in the heavy vehicle transport sector.Drawing from the knowledge from prior workplace
safety and road
safety research (Study 1), a study of
safety management characteristics comparing those in good
safety performing heavy vehicle operators and poor
safety performers sought to synthesise the distinguishing features between them. Two empirical studies were conducted (Studies 2 and 3). The first was a survey of senior managers of Australian heavy vehicle operating companies. The second was an in-depth investigation of a sample of the survey participants to validate the self-reported survey, and to learn more about the reported characteristics and non-reported characteristics in situ. The findings of these studies provided the basis upon which to build a
safety management system (SMS) suitable for heavy transport vehicle operations. This process resulted in the identification of 14
safety management practices that have strong research evidence for inclusion in a
safety management system (SMS) for heavy truck operations. These findings, together with analysis of sound theoretical models to underpin the SMS, were used to shape the SMS.The SMS features three spheres of
management practices – risk assessment and
management, driver risk
management and
safety culture
management. Drawing from the literature, a dynamic model of a
safety management system is presented and explained. The original aim of this thesis research has been met, providing an evidence-based
safety management system that is likely to reduce crash and injury risk when applied to heavy vehicle transport operations.

▼ China Steel Corporation (CSC) has introduced OHSAS 18001 system since 2000, and has acquired good performance and credits, but it seems hard to get further progress in performance. One of the major reasons is that industrial
safety awareness does not take root in every employerâs mind. So it is important to make an all-purpose
safety concept environment. In 2011,
Safety-Caring program was put into action plant widely to build
safety culture. This study focuses on the effect of
safety management by promoting
safety caring activities in steel-making plant. It hopefully improves the
safety performance through verification of practical experiment according to theoretical analysis. The study processes and conclusion are as followings:
1. Two rounds of questionnaires were issued; the first one was done about one year later of
safety caring project started, this questionnaire was to understand the effect of
safety caring program in steel plant. The second one was to evaluate the key factors of success to run
safety caring program, and the later questionnaire was issued about five months later following the first one.
2. The culture of CSC is based on the kindheartedness and humanity priority. So
safety caring program is suitable to build an all-purpose
safety culture in CSC.
3. The results from the two rounds of questionnaires show the highly approval of
safety caring program. The successive
safety education, the promise of the authority, the proclamation of the labor union and steel plant, and the
safety knowledge sharing consistently promoted, therefore, the
safety performance is getting higher.
4. The major factors of running
safety program are: active
safety caring, the promise of the authority, personal
safety knowledge, the proclamation and the support of the labor union, and the notification performance of steel-making plant. The factor of the promise of the authority is the most outstanding. On the other hand, the following factors are not so obvious, such as:
safety management system,
safety feeling, service leading, commanding leading, rewards and punishments, working pressure, and income satisfaction.
5. The more the
safety caring is done, the more approval of
safety program, and the more willingness to obey the
safety rules. It is evident that keeping the promotion of
safety activities can lower the industrial accidents.

▼ During the first generation of patient
safety, healthcare leaders began to learn about, assess, and try to improve their organization’s
safety culture. However, they never developed or agreed upon an evidenced-based tool containing proven strategies to improve
safety culture (NPSF, 2015). Though they were successful in making incremental steps toward improvement,
safety is not currently an organizational value completely embedded within the healthcare industry (ACHE & NPSF LLI, 2017). As such, the National Patient
Safety Foundation’s Lucian Leape Institute, a part of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, partnered with the American College of Healthcare Executives to write “Leading a Culture of
Safety: A Blueprint for Success”, an evidence-based guide designed with tools and strategies for healthcare leaders to improve
safety culture in their organizations (ACHE & NPSF LLI, 2017). Armed with a better understanding of
safety culture and its role in patient
safety, and a guide to improving it, healthcare is entering into the next generation of patient
safety.
Leadership in a publicly-owned and academic health system recognized the opportunity to move into the next generation of patient
safety by refocusing and reenergizing its initiatives to improve
safety culture. First, an analysis of the current state of
safety culture was conducted. Next, areas of opportunity were identified by utilizing “Leading a Culture of
Safety: A Blueprint for Success” and working with external patient
safety experts. Lastly, leadership was engaged in developing a strategic structure that would support sustained
safety culture improvement.

▼ A review of MSHA records for 2002-2006 shows that the average fatality injury rate for small mines (employing fewer than 20 workers) was three times greater than the fatality injury rate for all US mines. High fatality rates interrupt the continuity of the mining process and also affect a company's financial situation negatively. In an attempt to obtain in-depth information, 17 small mines located in the western US have been inspected as part of this study. A quick review of this information showed that these mines are facing three common problems: 1) dependency on independent or outside contractors, 2) multitask assignments, and 3) inadequate training evaluation (identified through observations). Poor management commitment to safety and limited resources are the root causes for the recurrence of these problems. To overcome these problems, small mine operators urgently require a safe production model or a procedure to achieve their goals and improve their safety records. In this thesis, eight key safe production elements have been identified: 1) management commitment and leadership, 2) hiring process, 3) training and evaluation, 4) hazard identification and risk assessment, 5) accident investigation, 6) safety policies and procedures, 7) safety accountability, and 8) communication and participation. These elements have been used as tools to build a Safe Production Model for Small Mines. This model involves the following three major activities: developing human resources, adding

▼ This thesis aimed to evaluate the nature of safety climate; the component parts, the antecedents and the consequences. This work is based in the maritime domain, a sector with rising accident rates and many potential risk factors (such as managing a remote multicultural workforce on a high risk moving site), as identified through a literature review. An overview of the factors involved in human error within the maritime industry at an organisational and individual level showed that one contributory factor, which had been comparatively under-researched is safety climate. The review of safety climate literature post 2001 demonstrated wide variation in measurement across studies, although there was an element of consistency in terms of relationships with outcome variables and also in the topics measured as safety climate. Aligned with previous reviews, the role of management commitment to safety was highlighted, as expressed through its prevalence in studies of safety climate. A safety climate measure for the shipping sector, which loosely mapped the most common themes identified through the review, was designed. Study 1, a study of safety climate, safety behaviour and national culture, sampled 1067 seafarers from one company's 46 oil and gas shipping vessels and used this questionnaire to measure the relative contribution of management commitment benchmarked with other safety predictors when predicting behaviour. The results demonstrated that the sole predictor of safety behaviour was workers' perceptions of management commitment to safety. It is argued that the practice of including numerous other safety-related indicators (such as communication and satisfaction) in the prediction of behaviour is empirically unjustified and also theoretically misaligned. The role of grouped worker safety behaviour was also evaluated and group safety behaviour was posited as a mediator of the relationship between group safety climate and objective safety performance (as measured through company accident rates). Although there was a significant relationship between group safety behaviour and accident rates, behaviour did not act as the mediator in the relationship between safety climate and safety performance. Having illustrated that management commitment has a focal role in safety climate, it would appear logical to postulate a role for leadership in shaping the perceptions of managementc ommitment. This is also consistent with with previous research, which has demonstrated relationships between safety leadership and safety climate, although leadership for safety is still an area of research where little is known. A review of the leadership literature illustrated conceptual and levels of analysis issues in leadership. The second study, also with a seafaring sample from one company (n=447, across 27 ships), used the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (Avolio & Bass, 2004) to examine the relationship between leadership, safety climate (using Zohar & Luria, 2005 and Zohar & Luria, 2000 safety climate scales of group and organisational…

▼ Safety is one of the crucial issues that industry has aimed at improving for many decades and continues to progress. Discoveries show that organizations optimize their effort when they provide effective
management systems to support front line employees, supervisors, and senior level managers. In this research, the role of leaders regarding
safety in the energy industry is studied, and moreover, how to develop
safety management systems to ensure an effective
safety performance is surveyed.
Leadership has the greatest impact on
safety improvement. Leaders by different techniques can increase their influence on employees; set the mission and vision for staff; implement rules; provide resources; improve the teamwork; make effective communication from top to bottom, bottom to top and along the organization, educate staff, develop a
safety management system, and create
safety culture in the organization. By organizational
safety culture, I mean the shared common values that drive organizational performance, more commonly defined as ?the way we do around here.?
While there are regulations regarding
safety, every organization requires self-standard beyond the codified rules to have effective
safety programs. Regulations should follow new research to develop new
management systems to ensure the highest standards for
safety. Developing
safety systems to have a sustainable
safety performance is an obligation. Hence, for the energy system, some components have to be considered in
safety matters: type of resources, support characters, and their relation to
safety issues. In addition, other components include the time frame for productions (exploration), the output shape and associated hazards, area that these resources are located at, and distribution systems and hazards.
A
safety management system helps leaders and managers control and evaluate
safety by using
safety metrics such as leading and lagging indicators.
Management systems such as process
safety management, risk
management plan, and Seveso Directive are some
management programs that organizations are still arguing for complete and correct implementation to become a zero-incident-organization.

▼ This laboratory study evaluated the usefulness of a new market available scavenging system (patient mask and filter) in controlling the spread of airborne pathogens by: 1.Develop a laboratory simulation of an infectious patient exhaling a range of respirable bacteria and viruses into a laboratory hood. 2. Compare and contrast capabilities of the market-available scavenging system to reduce and control pathogens in a laboratory setting versus not using a scavenging system. 3. Evaluate the effectiveness of the scavenging system's filter and alternative HEPA filters in capturing these pathogens. A life-like manikin head equipped with a bioaerosol collision nebulizer was set up to simulate a person exhausting pathogenic droplets. The study's hypothesis was tested by using two different scenarios: 1. The scavenging system was used the entire duration of the trial (Case) 2. The scavenging system was not used at all during the trial (Control). The nebulizer used multiple types of respirable pathogens (bacteria and viruses) to represent different size pathogens to evaluate the scavenging system's ability to capture a range of pathogens likely to be found in infectious patients. Pathogens that may escape the scavenging system were captured using liquid impingers, and pathogens inside the scavenging system were captured by the filter that came with the market available mask. A filter flask was used to capture pathogens that broke through the scavenging system supplied filter. The captured pathogens were analyzed and quantified by spread plate analyses for both bacteria and viruses. The filter equipped with the market available scavenging system did not consistently prevent all pathogens from breaking through the filter (p ≥ .05).The HEPA filters in the scavenging mask followed a general trend showing a higher percentage of the smaller viruses passed through the HEPA filter compared to the larger viruses. However, overall the market available scavenging system proved to reduce the exposure to pathogens by 93.2% when exposed to the smallest viruses used (27nm) and as much as 99.9998% for the largest bacteria used (3 μm). Based on this laboratory research, it appears the market available scavenging system may help protect healthcare workers working in the PACU and ICU against airborne pathogen exposure. Further research in clinical trials will help validate these laboratory results.

▼ Inadequate leadership is the reason workplace accidents in the mining industry remain high, making the industry one of the most hazardous operational activities in the world. Unsafe leadership practices may result in death or injury to workers. A group of 30 mining company leaders from 3 gold mines in Zimbabwe revealed an exception to these hazardous practices, however, notable through their outstanding safety improvement records. To better understand what these practitioners were doing, this multicase study research design explored their strategies to improve the workplace safety environment in the mines. Data were collected using audio-recorded semistructured interviews and document analyses. Shewhart’s plan-do-check-act conceptual framework anchored the study. Data analysis followed the thematic data analytic approach involving classification, coding, and interpretation to identify common themes. The following themes emerged: planning and organizing, leading, and risk management. The findings indicate that the business leaders created a safe work environment by planning the work to be performed; how the task would be executed; and when, where, and who performed the task. The results of study also indicate that leaders designed the work environment, trained, empowered, and equipped employees with the relevant skills, and provided appropriate technology and personal protective equipment to improve workplace safety. Finally, the research findings indicate that leaders embedded risk management principles and practices in every process or activity, and continuously learned from each event to create a safe work environment. The findings promote social change by encouraging safe behavior and risk-based thinking and practices in the workforce and the community.

▼ It is important for highway agencies to monitor the pavement friction periodically and systematically to support their
safety management programs. The collected data can help implement preservation policies that improve the
safety of the roadway network and decrease the number of skidding-related crashes. This dissertation introduces new approaches to effectively use tire-pavement friction data for supporting asset
management decisions. It follows a manuscript format and is composed of five papers. The first chapter of the dissertation discusses the principles of tire pavement friction and surface texture. Methods for measuring friction and texture are further discussed in this chapter. The importance of friction in
safety design of highways is also highlighted. The second chapter discusses a case study on developing pavement friction
management program. The proposed approach in this chapter can be used by highways agencies to develop pavement friction
management program. Contrary to general perception, that friction is only influencing wet condition crashes, this study indicated that friction is associated with both wet and dry condition crashes.
The third and fourth chapters of the dissertation introduce a soft-computing approach for pavement friction
management. Artificial Neural Network and Fuzzy Logic approach are presented. The learning ability of Neural Network makes it appealing as it can learn from examples; however, Neural Network is generally complicated and hard to understand for practical purposes. The Fuzzy system on the other hand is easy to understand. The advantage of Fuzzy system over Artificial Neural Network is that it uses linguistic and human like rules. Sugeno Neuro-Fuzzy approach is used to tune the proposed Fuzzy Logic model. Neuro-Fuzzy approach has the benefit of incorporating both 'learning ability' of neural network and human ruled based decision making aspect of fuzzy logics. The application of the fuzzy system in real-time slippery spot warning system is demonstrated in chapter five.
Finally, the sixth chapter of the dissertation evaluates the potential of grinding and grooving technique to restore friction properties of the pavement. Once sleek spots are identified through pavement friction
management program, this technique can be used to restore the friction without compromising the roadway smoothness.

▼ The impact of occupational stress on employees' health and work performance costs U.S. companies $300 billion annually; work-related stress is an issue for private security organizations all over the world. The purpose of this single case study was to explore strategies private security organizational leaders used to mitigate private security officers' occupational stress. The study participants were 4 leaders of a private security organization in Bahrain who had a minimum of 5 years of experience in the private security field and had addressed occupational stress successfully. The human capital theory was the conceptual framework used for this study. Data were collected using semistructured interviews and review of archival documents. Yin's 5-step data analysis plan was applied to the data to generate 4 themes: private security occupational stressors, occupational stress reduction practices, leaders-officers open communication, and health protection policies. The identification and development of job stressor mitigation strategies has multiple implications for positive social change including protecting employees' well-being and increasing their working performance, productivity, and business success. Improving work performance and productivity produces opportunities for employment and supports economic growth and community goodwill. The practices of a successful organization positively influence the society by providing jobs and capital investments, which can improve the quality of life in the community.

▼ Significant accidents are often related to the performance of a complex socio-technical system (enterprise) involving technology, people, organizations, processes, management and legislation.
Approaches to identify factors that lead to accidents and then take them into account during the design, operation, maintenance and evolution of the socio-technical system (enterprise) are not well defined and not consistently utilized in practice.
The emerging discipline of "enterprise engineering" provides an opportunity to apply an engineering approach to the design, operation, maintenance and evolution of enterprises to improve the likelihood of the enterprise achieving and maintaining its safety goals.
The integration of design principles and approaches from the fields of systems engineering, safety engineering, management science and enterprise architecture into a Safety Enterprise Engineering (SEE) approach based on a consistent model of the enterprise provides the basis of the approach described in this thesis.
A general process model for applying an enterprise engineering approach to safety management is defined. Design principles from nuclear industry best practice documents are identified and mapped to the general process model.
The Fukushima nuclear accident that occurred in 2011 was used to identify weaknesses in current practices in the nuclear industry. These weaknesses were compared with best practices, as defined by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) documents, to identify the subset of weaknesses identified from the Fukushima accident that are also weaknesses within the IAEA set of best practices. The Safety Enterprise Engineering approach was applied to a slice of safety related functionality of a CANDU nuclear utility to demonstrate the degree to which the SEE approach overcomes weaknesses of both current practice and best practice within the nuclear industry.

▼ Project
management in the Saudi Arabian construction industry is an activity complicated by the current widespread lack of a mature organisational
safety culture, which results in a high incidence of serious and fatal accidents, making it difficult to deliver project objectives. The thesis addresses this major problem. In Saudi Arabia, the General Organization for Social Insurance (GOSI) released a report on the number of work-related fatalities, injuries, and disabilities for 2009-2010. There were 85,624 serious workers' compensation claims and 587 fatalities compensated for (GOSI 2009-2010). The construction industry has the highest number of accidents in Saudi Arabia, with 50.2% of all compensation cases related to construction. Such a high accident rate is not acceptable. Human resources are too valuable to waste through avoidable incidents. It is imperative, therefore, to identify factors and establish policy frameworks that can reduce the number of accidents. The main causes of these accidents have been linked directly to pressures from
management. Inconsistencies in policies, standards, quality control, training and knowledge dissemination all impact workforces negatively, as do financial restrictions, lack of interaction between workers, the workplace environment, equipment and materials (Charles et al. 2007; Gibb et al. 2006). Accidents have also been indirectly linked to human behaviour, social pressure, attitudes to risk taking, trade customs, financial pressure and industry traditions (Charles et al. 2007). For many years, researchers around the globe have investigated the causes of the high level of accidents in the construction industry. In Saudi Arabia, they have grappled with the problem of understanding the '
safety' or 'accident' phenomenon, and have failed to identify the causes of the high number of accidents, or to determine the barriers that prevent individual workers, companies, and the government from improving
safety. Despite the growing body of literature on
safety culture in the construction industry, it is still widely recognised that the empirical validation of stakeholder involvement in
safety culture at the level of senior
management is limited. Senior
management contribution to
safety performance has rarely been studied, and the connections between top
management's actions and their objectives in relation to
safety performance appear to have been neglected. This research is therefore an attempt to verify the causal relationships and interactions between stakeholder involvement,
safety culture, and
safety performance in the construction industry, thus providing a better understanding of their interaction which, in tum, may improve
safety. To achieve this objective, a conceptual model was developed to enable empirical research via responses to a questionnaire distributed to the three different types of project- small, medium, and large -that comprise the Saudi construction industry. A total of 384 valid responses was received. The results were analysed by means of various statistical…

▼ This study focuses on the contributions that health and safety representatives make to occupational health and safety in New Zealand workplaces. It investigates how they and other organisational actors conceive the role purpose, how representatives interpret and enact their roles and how they impact on occupational health and safety.
The study comprises two business cases of organisations in the metal manufacturing sector. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews with eight representatives and 23 other organisational actors known to influence the health and safety representatives’ role, including the representatives’ managers, co-workers, health and safety managers, senior managers and a union representative. The interview data was thematically analysed (Braun & Clarke, 2006), and triangulated to attain a more accurate picture of reality (Mathison, 1988). The Danish National Working Environment Authority’s (2002) impact ladder was used in a novel way to systematically evaluate the representatives’ impacts.
Consistent with overseas findings, health and safety representatives also contribute to the improvement of workplace health and safety in New Zealand. Yet, representatives have different interpretations of their purpose, which influences role enactment. To characterise these differences, a typology was developed that included a range of ‘types’ into which representatives can be grouped: administrators, workshop inspectors, problem solvers and craft experts.
Commonly, all types of health and safety representative foster positive labour relations, and nearly all in this study were perceived by workers to improve health and safety by providing a legitimate avenue of redress. Otherwise, contribution differed among the types; administrators contributed by implementing and maintaining health and safety management systems; workshop inspectors improved workers’ attitudes towards health and safety; problem solvers facilitated improvements to production from a health and safety perspective; and craft experts influenced the development of standards and procedures for the management of hazards at the strategic level. Factors influencing health and safety representatives’ role enactment and impact appeared to relate to how the purpose of the role is defined and communicated at the workplace, the representatives’ expert power bases and abilities, and the nature of their job role.
The study identifies the implications of these findings for health and safety policy, training and further research. Finally, it highlights the value of a cross-perceptual approach to enrich understanding of the multifaceted nature of representatives’ contributions to workplace health and safety.

▼ The purpose of this study is to improve the safety of the engineering office by updating the occupational safety instructions and travel safety instructions. The studied engineering office has grown into a global operator, so updating the safety instructions into a uniform format was deemed necessary.
In order to achieve this goal, materials were collected from literature, legislation and through interviews and surveys. The interviews were used to find out how safety is seen and experienced at different offices of the studied company in Finland. There were 11 interviewees from different hierarchy levels in the organisation giving a more holistic view of how safety is perceived in the offices. The interviews showed that the familiarization process is important in terms of how well the employee knows the safety issues in their office. There were differences in work ergonomics between the offices, and especially during business trips, work ergonomics can sometimes be unsuitable. Accidents and near-miss situations do not often occur in office conditions but have occurred on sites in rare occasions.
The interviewees made domestic and foreign trips, with the shortest trips being trips of a few days and the longest trips being several weeks.
The instructions were created based on literature sources, legislation, requirements and interviews. Which enables the organization to instruct and manage in safety matters.
Before the actual implementation a pilot phase was carried out for the instructions, after which some modifications were made to the them before implementation. Two instructions were created during the study: A Travel Safety Instruction and an Occupational Safety Instruction.
The created Occupational Safety Instruction replaces the current instruction used by the organization, as it covers a wider range of subjects and it better represents what modern Occupational Safety Instructions should include. The new Travel Safety Instruction will replace the current instructions, as the new ones will better prepare employees for successful travel and provide better instructions for crisis situations. The new instruction contains important contact information, which provides traveling employees and managers information on who to contact when surprising and unexpected situations arise.

▼ Construction industry has the highest potential for occupational hazard events among all United States??? industries. One of the major causes is construction employers or employees??? negative attitudes toward
safety requirements imposed by different construction
safety documents, such as construction
safety regulations and project
safety plans. Such attitudes towards
safety requirements include ignorance, negligence and disobedience and the first two can be dealt with by raising construction project participants??? awareness of
safety requirements through better construction
safety planning.
The huge number of
safety requirements from different construction
safety documents may hinder project participants from carefully searching through them for identifying applicable
safety requirements. In addition, current approaches and tools for raising awareness of
safety requirements are not sufficient. For example, traditional keyword-based search through a large number of construction
safety specifications can help find
safety requirements which contain the search keywords. However, there will be other requirements which are semantically relevant but are not found just because they do not contain these specific keywords.
Hence, there is a need for a formalized approach to automating the identification of applicable construction
safety requirements. This approach should enable identifying
safety requirements more efficiently (i.e. saving time in the identification process) and effectively (i.e. better identify both directly and inferentially relevant requirements), and make it feasible to more easily raise project participants??? awareness of
safety requirements.
To address the above need, a Construction
Safety Documents
Management Framework is developed in this research. The developed Framework comprises the following components: (1) a computer interpretable model for representing
safety requirements of construction
safety documents to enable automated reasoning about them; (2) a semantically-rich model for representing concepts acquired from construction
safety documents which describe contextual information to which the imposed requirements apply; and (3) reasoning mechanisms to reason about the above two models for evaluating concepts and
safety requirements??? applicability to given project contexts.
For the representation of construction
safety requirements, the Ordered Hierarchy of Content Object (OHCO) approach is adopted to build the representation model; Extensible Markup Language (XML) is used in this research to implement the OHCO-based model. Ontological modeling, on the other hand, is leveraged to model semantically-rich concepts that describe construction contexts. In addition, the developed reasoning mechanisms utilize the ontological relationships between modeled concepts to automatically evaluate each concept???s applicability. Construction
safety requirements??? applicability then can be evaluated by reasoning about the requirements??? applicability conditions and exceptions, which are…

▼ Improving the performance of safety reporting systems is a paramount objective to provide more reliable safety information for implementing risk assessment processes. Previous researchers have identified several barriers that influence the effectiveness of reporting systems, ranging from individual factors to organisational issues. However, none of these studies has addressed the concomitant effect of the different barriers as a means of determining the overall effect on the performance of existing reporting systems. This research proposes a model that can help to determine the cumulative effect of organisational, working environment and individual factors on the performance of a safety reporting system in an aviation organisation. The model was analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) technique to examine the relationships amongst the different variables of the study. The data was collected from a survey conducted in a military aviation organisation, with the purpose of identifying the barriers to reporting in this particular organisational context. Results show that the proposed model allows to accurately quantifying the impact of the various concomitant barriers in the reporting system, providing a powerful resource to assist stakeholders in the decision-making process that is inherent to the implementation of tailored actions to improve safety performance.

▼ In the twentieth century, as technology grew with it. This resulted in collective efforts and thinking in the direction of controlling work related hazards and accidents. Thus, safety management developed and became an important part of industrial management. While considerable research has been reported on the topic of safety management in industries from various parts of the world, there is scarcity of literature from India. It is logical to think that a clear understanding of the critical safety management practices and their relationships with accident rates and management system certifications would help in the development and implementation of safety management systems.
In the first phase of research, a set of six critical safety management practices has been identified based on a thorough review of the prescriptive, practitioner, conceptual and empirical literature. An instrument for measuring the level of practice of these safety conduction a survey using questionnaire in chemical/process industry. The instrument has been empirically validated using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) approach. As the second step. Predictive validity of safety management practices and the relationship between safety management practices and self-reported accident rates and management system certifications have been investigated using ANOVA. Results of the ANOVA tests show that there is significant difference in the identified safety management practices and the determinants of safety performance have been investigated using Multiple Regression Analysis. The inter-relationships between safety management practices, determinants of safety performance and components of safety performance have been investigated with the help of structural equation modeling. Further investigations into engineering and construction industries reveal that safety climate factors are not stable across industries. However, some factors are found to be common in industries irrespective of the type of industry.
This study identifies the critical safety management practices in major accident hazard chemical/process industry from the perspective of employees and the findings empirically support the necessity for obtaining safety specific management system certifications

▼ Occupational Health and
Safety is largely determined by the creation of a
Safety Culture that minimises risk. In South Africa the construction sector is the second most hazardous industry after mining. This study focuses on two exemplary construction firms in the Western Cape. The main research question is "How do the companies ensure coherent
safety management practices that create a
safety culture?" Based on a modification of a Balanced Health and
Safety Scorecard for the Construction sector five sub-questions address
safety management practices from a
Management Perspective, an Operational Perspective, a Learning Perspective and a Client and Compliance Perspective. Data has been gathered from company documents, semistructured interviews, together with on-site observation. In conclusion the study reveals that
management commitment, active communication and employee acknowledgement contribute positively to creating an effective
safety culture on-site. Further studies are recommended with a specific view on small and medium companies in the construction sector.

▼ This project is a survey of occupational health and
safety within an Australian hospitality organization. The survey seeks to assess understanding/awareness and knowledge of the occupational health and
safety concepts of risk
management (the combined process of risk/hazard identification, assessment and control) and occupational health and
safety consultation. The project seeks to assess any underlying relationship between employee understanding and awareness of these
safety related concepts with
safety performance data, participation rates and organizational/
safety climate. The approach with the literature review was to review the key concepts and theoretical foundations of occupational health and
safety legislation (as described above), education and training related duty(s) of care, industry
safety performance measures, commonly used occupational health and
safety management systems and qualitative and quantitative research into the effects such systems and concepts have on
safety performance, participation and climate. These findings were then compared and contrasted with hospitality industry
safety performance data,
safety and organizational climate surveys and training and education trends within the industry.The projects findings will provide guidance to the hospitality industry in maximizing its limited training and education resources, by targeting specific conceptual areas of
safety for formal training, whilst relying on more informal approaches such as learning on the job, mentoring and experience for more occupationally specific hazards/risks. The transferrable nature of these skills will greatly improve productivity, improve OH&S compliance, reduce the costs associated with employee training and reduce workplace incidents.

▼ The safety literature describes senior managers as crucially influencing organisational safety. Yet, it is not fully understood, what contributes to their influence. This thesis investigated senior managers’ characteristics in relation to their impact on safety in air traffic management organisations. A review of the safety literature indicated research in this area would benefit from the introduction of a research model as a theoretical basis. The skills-based leadership model by Mumford and colleagues was proposed as a suitable model for senior managers’ influence on organisational safety. A safety–specific version of the model was devised, consisting of traits (Big Fives, regulatory focus), skills (problem solving, social competence) and safety knowledge as antecedents of safety commitment and organisational safety outcomes. Study 1 explored the relevance of these characteristics for senior managers’ work on safety using semi-structured interviews with senior managers (N = 9). Responses were coded into the characteristics with sufficient reliability using qualitative content analysis. The characteristics were found to be relevant for senior managers’ influence on safety and their content was refined based on the findings. Safety knowledge and social competence were frequently indicated. Interpersonal leadership emerged as additionally relevant. Study 2 investigated the characteristics’ relevance for safety managers’ and CEOs’ influence on safety with questionnaires consisting of open questions (N = 49). Responses were coded using qualitative content analysis with acceptable reliability. The results re-confirmed the relevance of the characteristics. As in the previous study, interpersonal leadership emerged. Furthermore, problem-solving, leadership and safety knowledge were found more frequently for CEOs than for safety managers, whereas personality was more frequently indicated for safety managers than for CEOs. Finally, Study 3 tested the characteristics’ influence on safety commitment, which was conceptualised as indicated through behaviours that reflect a positive attitude towards safety. Interview questions, scenarios and questionnaires were used to measure characteristics and safety commitment in a sample of senior managers (N = 60). Interview and scenario responses were quantified with acceptable reliability. The results indicated that not all characteristics that were previously found to be relevant for senior managers’ influence on organisational safety were also related to safety commitment. Mainly, problem solving was shown to influence safety commitment, with the ability to understand problems, to identify useful information-sources and to generate ideas that relate to changes in the organisation’s culture as most influential. The findings can inform guidance and training for senior managers. Future research in this area could benefit from a focus on the conceptualisation of safety commitment, the role of interpersonal leadership style, as well as safety knowledge and the skills included in the research…

▼ The purpose of this study was to explore Zohar’s Multi-Climate Framework for Occupational
Safety to determine the effects of staff nurse perceptions of
safety priorities in their organization (
safety climate) and their work ownership climate (Magnet Hospital designation) on
safety citizenship behaviors viewed as in role or extra role.
Safety citizenship behaviors are described as behaviors that go beyond the job description to ensure
safety. Participants from a convenience sample of three Magnet designated community hospitals in New England completed three scales (Zohar’s
Safety Climate Questionnaire, Essentials of Magnetism II and the
Safety Citizenship Role Definitions Scale) representing the study variables via an online survey platform. Multivariate analysis of covariance informed the results. Findings include a positive unadjusted relationship between
safety climate and work ownership climate (<em>r
s</em>=.492,
pF (1, 86) = 8.4,
p=.005, N=92), controlling for work ownership climate and hospital. Implications include support for a continued focus on better understanding the importance of a positive nursing work environment, a characteristic shared by Magnet designated hospitals, on the presence of
safety citizenship behaviors in the acute care environment. A professional work environment should be considered as an important factor in reducing errors in the acute care setting.

▼ Objectives. School safety has long been a subject of wide-ranging debate, but scientific research on the subject has, however, been rather limited. Although the English language research is comprehensive, in educational sciences school safety has not been a common subject of research. Matti Waitinen's (2011) dissertation is the first school safety culture investigative research in Finland. Waitinen images safety culture of Helsinki comprehensive school, and points out that the differences in security levels can be explained by a different safety cultures. The purpose of this thesis is to find out what are the most common needs to develop safety work that are encountered in comprehensive schools.
Research methods. The target group here are four comprehensive schools and their safety groups. The study was carried out as so-called mixed - methods study, where the research data came from both quantitative and qualitative orientation. The data - collection in the first phase of the research was a questionnaire sent to schools, the purpose of which was to orient the school safety team members to the subject. The next step was, Tutor audit, which the Rescue Department of Keski-Uusimaa had developed. The audit, data were generated as quantitative and qualitative, structured group interview section yielded precise values of the school, the level of security, but on the other hand recorded and eventually transcribed conversation around the subject produced a material for the later content analysis.
Results and conclusions. Based on the results it can be concluded that the safety work of comprehensive schools found plenty of areas for development. The audits on the basis of the values obtained, it can be said that none of the schools reached in the overall interpretation of the law formed through the minimum requirement, that is, the basic level three. There were found seven development themes: documentation, everyday and communally safety work, risk management, preparedness and independent development of safety, safety skills and safety training, as well as safety communication and paying attention to substitutes and stakeholders. Although the number of results can not be generalized to the comprehensive schools in general, the results can get an understanding of what kind of developments must be done in schools. The general conclusion is that the security work must continue to pay great attention to.
Tavoitteet. Koulujen turvallisuudesta on jo pitkään käyty laajaa keskustelua, mutta tieteellistä tutkimusta aiheesta on kuitenkin tehty varsin vähän. Vaikka englanninkielistä tutkimusta on runsaasti, ei etenkään kasvatustieteissä koulujen turvallisuus ole ollut yleinen tutkimusaihe. Matti Waitisen (2011) väitöskirja on ensimmäinen koulujen turvallisuuskulttuuria tutkiva suomalainen tutkimus. Waitinen kuvaa helsinkiläisten peruskoulujen turvallisuuskulttuuria ja toteaa, että erot turvallisuustasoissa selittyvät erilaisilla turvallisuuskulttuureilla. Tässä tutkielmassa tarkoituksena on selvittää, minkälaisia ovat ne yleisimmät…

▼ The rates of fatalities, injuries and diseases from work, has been a longstanding challenge for centuries. The challenge is validated by the fact that there is not a paper, or publication, that appears to have been written worldwide, without discussion regarding the extent of the problem in the construction industry. Despite there being prescriptive statutory requirements applicable to the sector, all attempts to reduce the reduce the accident rates in South Africa appear to have been largely unsuccessful. The review of literature indicates that most research has focused on design, designers, roles of stakeholders, inter alia that relate to construction health and safety. Given the situation noted, the research investigated design, various aspects of the construction process and stakeholders, and the inclusion of procurement as a major component of the construction process. A triangulated, or mixed methods research methodology was utilised for the thesis. The qualitative methodology utilised in Action Research (AR) and a total of three FGs’ sought to develop a theoretical model that would identify multi-stakeholder policies, practice and education requirements. An extensive international, African and South African literature review was conducted as part of the secondary research and the grounding for the mixed methodology of research. The information sought to contextualise the South African paradigm and practices. Two quantitative, multi-stakeholders’ studies were conducted during the development of the research. The quantitative aspect considers the perceptions of those practicing or involved in H&S, the interface regarding the stakeholders and ‘issues’ experienced in the challenges relating to daily work. Themes were developed, inter alia: a general; workers; management (including supervision, responsibilities and pricing); a stakeholders’ theme (including project managers; design and designers, and client), and the construction H&S theme (including the CHSA, construction H&S Manager (CHSM), construction H&S Officer (CHSO)). A total of 22 hypotheses were tested. The hypotheses considered all the stakeholders, within the framework of the research. Only 1 hypothesis was not supported, and hypothesis was partially supported. Three AR FGs’ were held in the Sarah Baartman District (a building focus) and at the Bhisho offices (a civil engineering focus) of the ECDRPW. The research considered the procurement processes that underpins a project, with some elements relative to the interface of H&S, design, the stages of work, and the current legislative framework. A validated theoretical model, the ‘Deacon Procurement, Design and Health and Safety Model’ emerged from the qualitative aspect of the research. The salient findings indicate a tendency in the industry to operate in silos, adhere to minimum levels of compliance, and not determining other aspects that could possibly reduce project and financial risk. Therefore, stakeholders need to work together, across the stages of work. Level of confidence is low among clients…

▼ Process Safety Management (PSM) is concerned with the safe handling of products, safe
production of products and the safe operation of the process as confirmed by Thrower (2013).
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) (2012) promulgated the PSM
standard in 1992, which incorporated fourteen elements, to decrease the occurrence of process
safety incidents.
Walt and Frank (2007) described the cracks in the implementation of PSM programs, emanating
from major process safety incidents and compliance audits. This was confirmed by the decaying
process safety performance observed in recent years. It was thus proposed that an analysis into
the diverse process safety incident causes and its comparison against the implemented OSHA
PSM program, would suggest its associated shortcomings.
The aim of the study was to determine the most effective approach to implement and sustain
PSM in an organisation to prevent and manage the occurrence of major industrial catastrophes.
A semi-qualitative study was conducted through the employment of a survey questionnaire and
published incident investigation reports. A total of fifty random process safety incidents were
interpreted from published and accredited secondary literature. Most of the secondary literature
was obtained from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and Centre for Chemical Process
Safety (CCPS) databases.
From the study findings, Mechanical Integrity (MI) failures were found to significantly and
consistently contribute to process safety incidents. Further analysis specifically concluded that
equipment or control failure was the significant cause. Employee Participation (EP) was found
to statistically correlate with the other elements. The researcher found that literature agreed with the aforementioned findings and this study verified that the EP element was instrumental in the
implementation of the other elements.
The researcher used literature to confirm that safety culture and leadership commitment was
crucial to effective and sustainable PSM programs. The case study analysis validated this
observation. Therefore the most effective approach to implement and sustain PSM was to adopt
the DuPont, Centre for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS), Risk Based PSM framework or
Energy Institute (EI) models. To conclude, this study was effective as all the objectives and the
aim was achieved.

▼ Healthcare, as a safety-critical industry, has often been contrasted with aviation and nuclear energy. Though safety tactics learned from aviation and nuclear energy have proven effective, healthcare continues to have higher number of preventable serious adverse events in comparison to aviation and nuclear energy.
A mixed-method study was conducted and revealed that aviation and nuclear energy have international organizations which develop standards to harmonize operations globally. According to these standards, there are explicit regulatory requirements within aviation and nuclear energy, to implement safety management systems at the organizational level. Application of safety management systems to the extent implemented in aviation and nuclear energy has not been fully investigated or applied in healthcare practice.
Recommendations include but are not limited to the development and implementation of a safety management system standard which includes process control, management of change, proactive hazard identification and risk management, fatigue management, and reliability analysis of safety-critical tasks.

▼ The researcher applied a mixed methods approach to conduct a cross-sectional assessment of the
safety culture,
safety climate, and SMS at a regional airline in the United States. Data collection techniques were comprised of interview, on-line-survey, and a focus group activity. Participants in the current study were maintenance technicians, flight attendants, dispatchers, pilots, and managers. Results indicated significant differences of perception of
safety climate,
safety culture, and
Safety Management System between the maintenance technicians and flight attendants. The length of time a participant had worked at the
subject airline and age of the participant appeared to be significant factors of perception of
safety climate. The ASAP
safety program appeared to be the most positively perceived
safety program across all the studied groups. Participants expressed a general positive outlook of
safety at the
subject airline. Elements of concern highlighted included routine violation and senior
management being out of touch with frontline employees. The researcher presents recommendations for practice and future research

▼ The purpose of this case study was to explore the perceptions and experiences of hospital emergency preparedness coordinators of preparing for and responding to incidents. Stakeholder and protection motivation theories provided the theoretical framework for the study. The nonprobability sampling technique of purposive sample was used to identify 10 hospital preparedness coordinators employed at acute care hospitals with emergency departments located in Connecticut and Massachusetts. A field-tested researcher developed 20-question interview questionnaire guided data collection. This qualitative case study answers the questions: What are hospital emergency preparedness coordinators perspectives of hospital preparedness? How do hospital emergency preparedness coordinators prepare for a hospital incident? How do hospital emergency preparedness coordinators respond to a hospital incident? What factors do hospital emergency preparedness coordinators believe best prepares a hospital for incidents? Ranked in order of replication, the researcher identified three themes using first and second cycle coding techniques with pattern coding: (a) planning, (b) training, and (c) communication. Control and motivation emerged as subthemes. Results of the study provide detail rich data for hospital emergency preparedness coordinators, and provide insight and information for stakeholders from all types of private and public organizations to improve hospital emergency preparedness programs.

▼ A passengers’ traveling journey throughout the airport is anything but simple. A passenger goes through numerous hoops and hurdles before safely boarding the aircraft. Many airports today are implementing isolated solutions for passenger processing. Some of these technologies include automated self-service kiosks and bag tag, self-service bag drop-off, along with automated self-service gates for boarding and border control. These solutions can be integrated with biometric systems to enhance passenger handling. This thesis analyzes the current passenger processing technology implemented at airports around the world and their associated challenges that passengers face. A new passenger processing technology called a biometric single token identification (ID) is presented as a solution to help alleviate current issues. By using a medium-sized international airport as a case study, the results show that a single token ID is beneficial to the time it takes to process a passenger. Furthermore, it demonstrates that implementation of a single token ID with self-service technology can provide enhanced passenger travel experience, improving operational process efficiency, all while ensuring safety and security.

▼ peer-reviewed
Patient safety and medication safety are inherently linked. Medication management by healthcare professionals is one area where patient safety can be protected and enhanced. It is imperative that the nursing profession actively addresses medication safety, considering that nurses are the largest group of the healthcare professional workforce. There are inherent links between nurses’ undergraduate educational preparation in medication management and patient safety. Therefore, this study explored fourth year nursing students’ educational preparation in medication management from an Irish perspective. This qualitative research study utilised an interpretative phenomenological approach to explore the students’ perceptions. Fourteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with students of the undergraduate BSc Nursing (General), BSc Nursing (Intellectual Disability) and BSc Nursing (Mental Health) programmes at the University of Limerick. Data was analysed utilising Burnard’s (2011) method of thematic content analysis. The voices and interpretations of the participants in this study were fundamental to understanding nursing students’ perceptions of their preparation in medication management and provided the foundation for this research. These perceptions were captured in the format of four themes: developing an understanding, embedding knowledge in practice, engaging in practice and accepting professional responsibility. Overall, this research highlights the importance of both the higher education institution and the clinical learning environment in nursing students’ medication management education. There is a need for a collaborative developmental approach within this education that focuses on integrating medication management throughout the students learning across their four years and a need for leadership and support within the clinical learning environment in assuming a supportive role in the students’ educational process.
