“…Despite (or maybe because of) the industry-wide introduction of SMS as the cornerstone for safety management in high risk industries, there is little consensus about what an SMS is and how it should be managed [5,8,25,30]. As a first example, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) [33], in its Annex 19, defines SMS as "a systematic approach to managing safety, including the necessary organizational structures, accountabilities, policies and procedures".…”

“…The idea that the concept can also be used to introduce resilience into an organization is, however, gaining ground [19,30]. This view is confirmed by Pariès et al [25], who states that several safety strategies can fit within an SMS framework, describing the SMS as defining the "piping" of the system, generating safety. This pipework is presented in contrast to the safety strategy, i.e., the models or theories that can help us make sense of the diversity that can be observed in the real world, as the substance that "should flow through the pipes".…”

Although mandatory in most high-risk industries, the safety management system (SMS) is often criticized as burdensome and complex. Through its requirement to formalize all main activities, the SMS is perceived as bureaucratic and a vehicle for pure compliance and Safety I (one). Furthermore, the SMS is often detached from an organization’s core activities, goes against local practice and does not deliver the safe performance that was hoped for. By comparing the model behind SMS with specific requirements for process capability, this paper identifies a safety fractal that reflects the basic requirements that are needed to control safety related activities at all levels within an organization. It is further argued that the constituent elements of this safety fractal are particularly suitable to organize resilient performance, provided that resilience is explicitly identified as the safety strategy to follow and, as such, consequently implemented. This approach is then positioned against common safety management concepts as management system maturity, leadership and safety culture, leading to a systematic and a more comprehensive view on how to measure safety performance and resilience.

“…Over recent years, Qantas Engineering (QE) has been pursuing a strategic objective of becoming a High Reliability Organisation (HRO). HROs are organisations that: (i) conduct relatively error-free activities over a long period of time; (ii) deliver high quality and reliable operations consistently; and (iii) operate in industries where failure may have potentially catastrophic consequences [2]. Extending the HRO notion of reliability, i.e.…”

Receipt and dispatch operations in aviation require the contribution of a variety of tightly interconnected agents (dispatchers, pilots, ground-handlers, air traffic controller, etc.). These agents have to deal with processes that are frequently affected by variable working conditions and limited resources. In this context, human actions acquire a crucial role to cope with situations underspecified by procedures, and to manage unanticipated circumstances. This paper proposes the application of the Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM) for modelling receipt and dispatch process for Boeing-737 in a major airport (about 70 movements per day). The proposed FRAM has been enriched by the adoption of a multi-level representation aimed at deconstructing the complexity of work at different abstraction levels. The analysis focuses on agents and macro-meso-micro functions (i.e. functions aggregated into a single function at a higher abstraction level), combining qualitative and semi-quantitative analyses. This paper aims to detail the main project phases for the development of a FRAM model to be used as a basis for systemic risk analyses in large socio-technical systems.

“…In this context the term is used quite broadly to refer to the capacity of health care systems to respond to changing environments and challenges with limited resources (European Commission, 2014 [53]). In resilience engineering, similarly, resilience is the ability of the health care system to succeed despite changing conditions (Øyri and Wiig, 2019 [54]). Resilience engineering posits that variability is not merely inescapable, but also valuable and should therefore not be rooted out but proactively managed (Righi, Saurin and Wachs, 2015 [55]).…”

“…Integrity is the concomitant of strong leadership and crucial in health care governance to ensure coherence of action (Greer et al, 2016[7]). Clarification of authority between the stakeholders is the prerequisite for efficient regulatory activity and further associated with better commitment of individuals in group settings (Øyri and Wiig, 2019 [54]) (Chan et al, 2019 [79]). Governance functions associated with integrity include defining the roles and responsibilities of patient safety in national legislation, setting up national quality and safety agencies, and encouraging leadership, which promotes patient safety culture.…”

The opinions expressed and arguments employed are those of the author(s). Working Papers describe preliminary results or research in progress by the author(s) and are published to stimulate discussion on a broad range of issues on which the OECD works. Comments on Working Papers are welcomed, and may be sent to health.contact@oecd.org. This series is designed to make available to a wider readership selected health studies prepared for use within the OECD. Authorship is usually collective, but principal writers are named.
