“…Seventh, while the published papers provide a rich source of information on concepts, ideas and notions associated with RE, many of the papers published have failed to build on each other's work so there is very little shared analytical framework [102]. Ensuring such a conceptual and theoretical framework will be useful in setting a boundary around research or investigation into RE [19].…”

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.

“…Therefore, within the context of the current as well as the prior situations, particular attention was placed on capturing concrete examples in which the complexity of the environment, in either routine or disturbed situations, required resilient behavior. The Resilience Markers Framework by Furniss et al (2011), which is used to systematically observe concrete manifestations of resilience at different levels of granularity within and across domains, was used to document the cognitive, collaborative strategies and facilitating activities used to handle situation demands. This framework distinguishes three levels: (1) resilience markers, (2) resilience strategies and (3) resilience observations.…”

Toward quantifying metrics for rail-system resilience: identification and analysis of performance weak resilience signals

This paper aims to enhance tangibility of the resilience engineering concept by facilitating understanding and operationalization of weak resilience signals (WRSs) in the rail sector. Within complex socio-technical systems, accidents can be seen as unwanted outcomes emerging from uncontrolled sources of entropy (functional resonance). Various theoretical models exist to determine the variability of system interactions, the resilience state and the organization's intrinsic abilities to reorganize and manage their functioning and adaptive capacity to cope with unexpected and unforeseen disruptions. However, operationalizing and measuring concrete and reliable manifestations of resilience and assessing their impact at a system level have proved to be a challenge. A multimethod, ethnographic observation and resilience questionnaire, were used to determine resilience baseline conditions at an operational rail traffic control post. This paper describes the development, implementation and initial validation of WRSs identified and modeled around a 'performance system boundary.' In addition, a WRS analysis function is introduced to interpret underlying factors of the performance WRSs and serves as a method to reveal potential sources of future resonance that could comprise system resilience. Results indicate that performance WRSs can successfully be implemented to accentuate relative deviations from resilience baseline conditions. A WRS analysis function can help to interpret these divergences and could be used to reveal (creeping) change processes and unnoticed initiating events that facilitate emergence that degrades rail-system resilience. Establishing relevant change signals in advance can contribute to anticipation and awareness, enhance organizational learning and stimulate resilient courses of action and adaptive behavior that ensures rail operation reliability.

“…These depend on the physical characteristics of the system, its social criticality, the possibility of cascading effects and the system resilience. In a general sense, resilience represents the ability to avoid the occurrence of accidents despite the persistence of poor circumstances or to recover from some unexpected events (Furniss, Back, & Blandfod 2011). It is the ability of a system to anticipate, cope with/absorb, resist and recover from the impact of a hazard (technical) or a disaster (social).…”

Embracing an all-hazard view to deal with random failures, natural disasters, accidents and malevolent intentional acts, a framework for the vulnerability analysis of safety-critical systems and infrastructures is set up. A hierarchical structure is used to organise the information on the hazards, which is then manipulated through a decision-making process for vulnerability evaluation. We present the framework and its hierarchical model by way of assessing the susceptibility of a safety-critical system to intentional hazards, considering criteria of diverse nature, such as physical characteristics, social criticality characteristics, exposition to cascading failures, resilience. We use a ranking method to compare systems of different characteristics. The systematic process of analysis is presented with reference to the exemplary case of nuclear power plants.
