“…This supports the proposed theory and critical review by Pillay (2010) and Pillay (2014) respectively. As mentioned by Pillay (2010) and Pillay (2014), the way to reduce the number of accidents, incidents and near miss included the adaptive factors and apply the sophisticated measure to reduce the harm to the workers. Thus, harm reduction usually requires construction companies to execute SMS effectively and effectively.…”

“…Unlike accidents, occupational health hazards could be developed in both the short-term and longterm depending on their exposure levels (Bunn III et al, 2001;Choudhry et al, 2008;Fernández-Muñiz et al, 2009;Robson et al, 2007). This supports the proposed theory and critical review by Pillay (2010) and Pillay (2014) respectively.

“…The organization culture, working team, machinery and tools, working environment, procedures and conditions should also be well planned. This is to ensure the workers to be free from potential ill-health and risk (Choudhry et al, 2008;Fernández-Muñiz et al, 2009;Pillay, 2010;Pillay, 2014). ''Operational efficiency' was assessed as the second most significant benefit category for implementing SMS.…”

“…there is a sparsity of empirical studies from contemporary high risk domains such as construction or mining, although propositions for such research have been made [11] [57] [123]. Second, while some factors associated with safety culture have also been suggested to be important for RE, the mechanisms and linkages between these are not clear.…”

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.

“…Resilient safety culture is a multifaceted concept [44,45]. Pillay et al, based on a review of the literature, ascertained there are three dimensions of resilient safety culture: contextual, behavioral, and psychological [46]. Psychological resilience is the ability of a company to understand, analyze, and evaluate unexpected events in order to determine how to respond.…”

Having a higher educational level has been proposed to reduce workers’ unsafe behavior. It remains unclear whether the improvement in safety performance can be enhanced by workers with higher education levels, an individual’s learning ability, and a resilient safety culture. This study aims to examine the moderating effects of individual learning ability and resilient safety culture on the relationship between workers’ educational level and safety performance. A questionnaire survey was conducted to assess the education level, resilience safety culture, safety learning ability, and safety performance of workers. The results indicated that the educational level of construction workers has a significant positive impact on safety performance. They confirmed that an individual’s learning ability and a resilient safety culture have a positive moderating effect. This study supports the crucial relationship between worker education levels and safety performance. Thus, organizations and government entities can leverage this understanding to promote worker engagement in training programs and extend educational support. The study underscores the pivotal role of a resilient safety culture in bolstering the impact of worker educational level on safety performance. Finally, the study acknowledges the influence of an individual’s learning ability on safety performance. Integrating educational levels with individual learning abilities can facilitate the development of targeted strategies to improve safety performance.
