“…STPA can help transportation departments or enterprises analyze transportation systems’ control structure and process, discover the causes and consequences of transportation accidents, and develop safety control measures and plans [ 42 ]. In addition, STPA also has extensive applications in the medical field [ 43 ]. Some scholars use STPA to analyze the service processes and equipment of medical institutions or personnel, identify the possibility and impact of medical errors or mistakes, and develop methods for preventing and handling medical errors [ 44 ].…”

The construction of emergency hospitals is crucial for ensuring medical service provision during disasters. Assembled buildings have emerged as the preferred choice for large-scale emergency hospitals due to their rapid construction and high quality. However, the construction of emergency hospitals involves the collaboration of multiple departments, and there is a lack of research on the management of such construction projects. Given the urgent need for emergency hospitals, analyzing potential hazards in the construction process from a systemic perspective is essential to manage their construction effectively. In this study, the SWOT and STPA methods are employed to investigate the construction management of emergency buildings, with the Wuhan Vulcan Mountain Hospital in China serving as a case study for emergency management analysis. This study can provide ideas for emergency hospital management and a basis for controlling possible emergency construction accidents.

“…Since its proposal, the STPA has been implemented in different areas, ranging from technical reliability, maritime systems, healthcare, software projects, cyber security, process industry, nuclear power plants, to autonomous systems [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. Unsurprisingly, various papers have been published concerning the application of the STPA in autonomous systems, for these systems work with little or no human intervention, and rely on a hierarchy of controllers to function continuously and reliably.…”

Construction, a leading industry in many countries, contributes greatly to gross domestic product (GDP). In a construction project, several processes must be performed with high reliability and quality, while maintaining the occupational safety and health (OSH) of workers. This paper explores the process reliability and OSH related analysis of the subsystem related to epoxy resin application on concrete structure, using systems theoretic process analysis (STPA), and failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA). The STPA focuses on the hierarchical control structures of a system/subsystem, their unsafe control actions (UCAs), and the causes of the UCAs. Meanwhile, the FMEA emphasizes the potential failures in a system/subsystem, as well as their modes, effects, causes, and ranking. On the subsystem related to epoxy resin application, the two approaches yield complementary results, which can be used in the industry to improve process reliability and OSH.

“…It prevents accidents by enforcing constraints on component behavior requirements and interactions. STPA has been widely applied in space ( Dulac et al, 2007 ), aviation ( Castilho et al, 2018 ), marine applications ( Wróbel et al, 2018 ), automotive ( Abdulkhaleq et al, 2017 ), and more recently in the healthcare ( Bas, 2020 ).…”

Analyzing National Responses to COVID-19 Pandemic using STPA

The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has affected most aspects of human life, including the ways in which organizations are operating. Minimizing the spread of coronavirus and its economic consequences, and creating a new and safe lifestyle has now become the common goals of governments all over the world. Although governments have responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by implementing various rules while interacting with relevant organizations to provide health service, vaccine research, and production of essential items, the complexities in the interactions between various stakeholders have proved to be challenging to have efficient and timely outputs. When different stakeholders (i.e. governments, organizations, and the public) are interacting with each other, a systems thinking process needs to be applied to capture the nuances of the interactions and the subsequent emergent behavior to effectively contribute to the system output (i.e. a safer way of life). This paper applied a system-thinking-inspired process called System Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) to analyze the current response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis treated various stakeholders as a part of the system, and it focused on the interactions among different stakeholders (i.e. functional blocks) within the system - i.e. ‘Government’, ‘Foreign Governments’, ‘Organizations’, and ‘General Public’, as well as the interactions with ‘W.H.O’. The STPA analysis found 236 potential Unsafe Control Actions (UCAs) (or unsafe interactions) among the stakeholder interactions, each of the UCAs was then further analyzed. In total 1440 causal factors of the UCAs were identified, and 2880 requirements were proposed to avoid such unsafe interactions.
