“…The number and cause of accidents and failures with serious consequences in factories and plants of the process industry is a topic, i.e. a problem which, despite frequent consideration, still requires attention and which will be given a lot of attention for a long time (Golubović et. al., 2021;Schmitz, et al, 2021;Swuste, et al, 2016).…”

“…In addition, the API 581 and RIMAP standards are extremely complicated, very comprehensive, and very time and financially demanding to implement (Jovanovic, 2004;Kauer et al, 2004;Khan & Abbasi, 1998), so they pose a challenge in the case of smaller process plants and factories. The analysis of the history of accidents also shows that the mechanical integrity of the equipment is a significant indicator and in that sense, the risk analysis of such a system focuses on a given direction (Baker et al, 2007;Golubović et al, 2021;Hopkins, 2000;Nivolianitou et al, 2006). However, a more detailed analysis makes it clear that in most cases there would be no equipment failure or the consequences would be significantly less if there were no omissions in the organization (Pate-Cornell & Murphy, 1996;Skogdalen & Vinnem, 2011;Smith et al, 2013).…”

In recent decades, process safety control and process safety risk assessment have become very attractive topics. The way control is carried out, using tools such as HAZOP, FMEA, FTA, and similar is not sufficient to adequately prevent or control accidents with serious consequences in the process industry. The need to analyze the causes of the causes themselves, with special emphasis on the impact of organizational factors has arisen. This research results in the development of an original, reliable, and valid measuring instrument for assessing organizational factors important for risk assessment methodologies in working with pressure equipment. The initial instrument was designed based on the previous research and then checked by statistical analysis, using the Kaiser-Meyerto-Olkin test, exploratory factor, and reliability analysis. The proposed instrument has reduced 71 to 48 dimensions, describing 10 organizational factors important for risk management of pressure equipment. Providing a valid and reliable measurement instrument is essential for a proactive approach, which enables managers employed in the organization to mitigate the risks of pressure equipment operation, and prevent accidents. The proposal of further research is the application of confirmatory factor analysis or/and structural equation modeling on data collected.

For mining processes to operate safely, information about safety is crucial. Numerous authors pay attention to fostering a good safety climate without paying attention to safety communication across organizational structure, which motivates this survey. Accordingly, this paper aims to check the hypothesis whether there is a difference between the attitudes of managers, operators, and auxiliary workers in the mining industry regarding safety communication, since differences on their attitudes about safety communication issues have potential to cause safety performance. A survey of 123 respondents working in different positions in Serbian mining companies, which have evaluated the importance of communication as well as the current state regarding the quality of communication in their organizations, was conducted. After evaluating the data and conducting descriptive statistics, followed by the Mann-Whitney test, it was determined that there are no statistically significant differences in the attitudes of managers, operators, and support staff toward safety communication. This indicates that issues with an organization's safety performance are not brought on by the differences on safety attitudes at different hierarchical levels. Proposal for the future research is to examine other possible causes, such as cognitive biases in risk perception, safety training and education and similar, and to use larger sample that may confirm our hypothesis.
