The coronavirus pandemic crisis highlighted the critical importance of comprehensive safety management for all organizations. Safety management literature delineates two approaches to achieving safety, characterized as safety management through centralized control, known as the safety management system (SMS), and safety management through guided adaptability, known as organizational resilience (OR). Each of these approaches plays a pivotal role in establishing and maintaining the safety and sustainability of an organization. This paper aimed to compare the maturity of SMS with the maturity of OR, identifying the relationship between aspects of SMS and OR in the context of the crisis of the pandemic. Based on a literature review, the author presents adopted concepts of SMS and OR, as well as a customized maturity model for both. The survey methodology involved two questionnaires on SMS and OR, consisting of 26 and 18 questions, respectively. The survey was conducted in three approved training organizations (ATOs) in the Greater Poland voivodeship. When comparing key aspects of both approaches to safety management (SMS vs. OR), significant differences in ratings were observed. Additionally, a moderate correlation was found between aspects of SMS and OR. This discrepancy was reflected in the maturity models. According to the survey results, SMS achieved the fourth level of maturity, labeled proactive safety management, while OR attained the third level of maturity, termed a fairly agile organization. Furthermore, the results showed that while the guided adaptability approach is more difficult to achieve in an organization, the centralized control approach is insufficient. Therefore, both components are necessary to ensure the comprehensive safety of the organization.

“…Based on the thorough research on this issue and the already mentioned political problems in the country, it is possible to add that the country, for example, does not have a complete safety management system per ICAO Annex 19. Plus, there is a lack of translations of legislative requirements, which can also create a threat effect [19]. From this angle, it is possible to define several threats, which are also related, for instance, to non-compliance with legislation or prescribed measures.…”

Environmental Analysis as a Part of the Context in the Risk Management Process

Safety and security are the most significant factors in human life. Accordingly, achieving the required level of safety and security needs steps to keep an acceptable level and fully manage and support it with appropriate activities. Securing both domains requires implementing a risk management process that will be effective and have the desired results. The whole issue is closely related to the critical context, which is the source of essential information regarding the risk management process, and which is related to the environment, processes, and stakeholders. This paper deals with determining the first part of the context analysis – environmental analysis. Techniques (PESTLE and SWOT analysis) are proposed for optimal analysis in the paper, and the analysis is subsequently carried out on the example of air transport in Slovakia. The article provides a fundamental overview of environmental analysis and is suitable for further research.

“…Cells in the green zone may be accepted without further action. 26,33,34 In this study, we considered the position of the first occurrence of medium risk (the lowest median risk), corresponding to the recommended frequency of QC tests. First, the S and O values were determined according to Section 2.3; Second, the S and O values were marked at the risk level corresponding to RM; Finally, the risk levels at different frequencies were plotted on the frequency (Y-axis) and S (X-axis) two-dimensional map.…”

Purpose: Quality control (QC) is performed routinely through professional guidelines. However, the recommended QC frequency may not be optimal among different institutional settings. Here we propose a novel method for determining the optimal QC frequency using risk matrix (RM) analysis. Methods and materials: A newly installed Magnetic Resonance linac (MRlinac) was chosen as the testing platform and six routine QC items were investigated. Failures of these QC items can adversely affect treatment outcome for the patient. Accordingly, each QC item with its assigned frequency forms a unique failure mode (FM). Using FM-effect analysis (FMEA), the severity (S), occurrence (O), and detection (D) of each FM was obtained. Next, S and D based on RM was used to determine the appropriate QC frequency. Finally, the performance of new frequency for each QC item was evaluated using the metric E = O/D. Results: One new QC frequency was the same as the old frequency, two new QC frequencies were less than the old ones, and three new QC frequencies were higher than the old ones. For six QC items, E values at the new frequencies were not less than their values at the old frequencies. This indicates that the risk of machine failure is reduced at the new QC frequencies. Conclusions: The application of RM analysis provides a useful tool for determining the optimal frequencies for routine linac QC. This study demonstrated that linac QC can be performed in a way that maintains high performance of the treatment machine in a radiotherapy clinic.
