“…Furthermore, the work can be perceived as meaningful as the personnel work at the sharp end, seeing the immediate connection between their effort and the result—obtaining the oil and gas from the reservoir. These aspects may positively influence well-being, engagement, and health among the workers [35] . In recent years, the company has worked systematically to integrate principles for managing psychosocial risk [36] .…”

BackgroundPsychosocial risk management [Psychosocial Risk Management Approach (PRIMA)] has, through the years, been applied in several organizations in various industries and countries globally. PRIMA principles have also been translated into international frameworks, such as PRIMA-EF (European framework) and the World Health Organization Healthy Workplace Framework. Over the past 10 years, an oil and gas company has put efforts into adopting and implementing international frameworks and standards for psychosocial risk management. More specifically, the company uses a PRIMA.MethodsThis study explores available quantitative and qualitative risk data collected through the PRIMA method over the past 8 years in order to explore specific and common psychosocial risks in the petroleum industry.ResultsThe analyses showed a significant correlation between job resources and symptoms of work-related stress, there was a significant correlation between job demands and symptoms of work-related stress, and there were differences in psychosocial risk factors and symptoms of work-related stress onshore and offshore. The study also offers recommendations on how the results can further be utilized in building a robust system for managing psychosocial risks in the industry.ConclusionThe results from the analyses have provided meaningful and important information about the company-specific psychosocial risk factors and their impact on health and well-being.

“…the impact of globalisation on the (changing) workplace, the impacts of continuous cost reductions, and the focus on core activities and outsourcing of all non-core activities. Positive psychology is not only relevant for 'work engagement', but is also likely to be relevant for safety promotion (Nahrgang et al, 2012;Mathisen & Bergh, 2016). In the safety domain, the increasing attention to the concept of 'resilience' has also led to a positive safety concept 'Safety 2' (Hollnagel, 2014).…”

“…Flin et al (2008) described how stress can impact workers' performance negatively in terms of efficiency and accuracy, and it has also been associated with lower levels of work situation awareness for drilling personnel on oil and gas installations (Sneddon et al, 2013). Mathisen and Bergh (2016) found a positive association between emotional exhaustion and action errors/violations, and a negative relationship between engagement and action errors/violations.…”

There is growing attention in industry for the Vision Zero strategy, which in terms of workrelated health and safety is often labelled as Zero Accident Vision or Zero Harm. The consequences of a genuine commitment to Vision Zero for addressing health, safety and wellbeing and their synergies are discussed. The Vision Zero for work-related health, safety and wellbeing is defined as the assumption that all accidents, harm and diseases are preventable. Implementation of Vision Zero is a process -rather than a target, and healthy organisations make use of a wide range of options to facilitate this process. There is sufficient evidence that fatigue, stress, and work organisation factors are important determinants of safety behaviour and safety performance. Even with a focus on preventing accidents these additional factors should also be addressed. A relevant challenge is the integration of the Vision Zero into broader business policy and practice. There is a continued need more empirical research in this area.

“…Numerous studies have been conducted and many theories have been proposed to explain individuals' aberrant and safety participation behavior [12]. The investigated worker groups include construction workers [13], aviation maintainers [12], and oilrig workers [14]. Workers at nuclear power plants have also attracted some research attention, but the focus has been mostly on control room operators [15,16].…”

Commissioning workers at nuclear power plants have long been ignored in previous studies, although their performance is closely related to the overall safety of plants. This study aimed to explain and predict three types of behavior, i.e., errors, violations, and safety participation, of commissioning workers, under the general framework of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and by considering organization and planning factors. The validity of the model was evaluated with a sample of 167 commissioning workers who completed a self-reported questionnaire. The results showed that perceived behavioral control, along with organization and planning, significantly affected all types of behavior. It was also found that violations and errors were a direct result of attitude. Besides, errors were predicted by subjective norm; unexpectedly, this occurred in a positive way. These findings revealed the underlying mechanisms for the development of errors, violations, and safety participation among commissioning workers and provided practical implications for safety improvement at the commissioning workplace.
