“…This review revealed that seven empirical studies investigated aspects of gap between WAI and WAP, including by Abech, et al [93]; Da Mata, et al [97]; Borys [112] [113]; Costella, et al [54] and Huber, et al [73]. Abech, et al [93] investigated how operators in an oil distribution company adapted when events challenged its model of how it should operate, by focusing on how closely operators depended on written plans and procedures to deal with regular, irregular and unexampled threats.…”

This paper reviews the literature on resilience engineering as a safety management approach. Preferred Reporting Items for Reporting Systematic Reviews guidelines were used to search, select and evaluate 46 published works. The terms organisational resilience and resilience engineering are clarified, and functionalist and interpretive research frameworks used to analyze articles. This review suggests there is no universally agreed definition of resilience engineering; but it involves a collective aspect, is multifactorial, multilevel and multidimensional; associated with four key principles (anticipation, response, learning and monitoring) and successful outcomes. The gap between work as imagined and work as performed is an important aspect. Studies on resilience engineering have predominantly involved qualitative investigations; with data collected through site observations, safety audits and surveys. Eight research gaps were identified, and suggestions made on how these gaps can be addressed through empirical research.

This study is an attempt to evaluate the mutual impacts of resilience engineering (RE) and managerial and organizational factors in a large gas refinery. RE is a paradigm for safety management that focuses on how to help people cope with complexity under pressure to achieve success. The data obtained from questionnaire are analyzed by statistical methods and data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach. The results of Cronbach's alpha test show that the data are reliable. The results of DEA demonstrate that learning and flexibility among all RE factors have the greatest impact on managerial and organizational factors. In addition, the organizational factors have a greater influence on RE in comparison with managerial factors. Spearman's test was used to verify the results of this study. This is the first study that identifies the most important factors of integrated managerial and organizational factors and RE through a unique mathematical programming approach in a gas refinery.

This study evaluates and analyzes the impacts of resilience engineering (RE) principles on integrated health, safety, environment, and ergonomics (HSEE) management system. In decision sciences, information should be reliable due to uncertainty and vagueness existing in information. To this end, in this study, the concept of Z‐numbers with fuzzy cognitive map (FCM) approach is integrated and a novel approach named Z‐number cognitive map is proposed. The main advantages of the proposed approach are determination of the weighted causality relations (for employing FCM) as well as handling uncertainty (for considering Z‐numbers concept). This approach is used to show the effects of RE indicators on HSEE management system. The required data for the proposed approach is collected from a large petrochemical plant by distributing questionnaires. According to the results, the RE principles have significant impact on HSEE management system. Top management commitment, learning, preparedness and awareness have the most impacts on environment, health, ergonomics and safety factors, respectively. This is the first study that employs Z‐number cognitive map for evaluating and improving the impacts of RE on HSEE factors in a large petrochemical plant. The proposed approach in this study, can help managers of various safety‐critical systems to improve their performance in terms of HSEE factors using RE concept.
