“…Recent studies in the aviation and air transport industry suggest that manager's commitment should be based on a systemic approach so that all the interactions between system components and external factors are considered. It is necessary to model how the system elements and activities interact to produce the expected safety outcomes, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the system (Leveson, 2004;Woltjer et al, 2013). In an empirical study in construction industry, Saurin et al (2013) suggest that safety management is inseparable from the management of other dimensions of the organization, such as production management.…”

The emergence of new technologies and new types of risks, in which the relationships between people and technology are complex and dynamic, challenge the models and techniques that have been used to measure safety performance. Traditional approaches are usually reactive and have little predictive value. Thus, this study discusses the design of safety performance measurement systems based on the Resilience Engineering paradigm, so that these are capable of monitoring and managing risks continuously throughout the life-cycle of the system. Resilience Engineering is relevant from the Lean perspective because it is useful to devise ways to balance safety and efficiency pressures, which otherwise can contribute to wastes and accidents. This paper presents the preliminary results of a systematic literature review of principles for designing safety performance measurement systems based on the Resilience Engineering paradigm. Five principles were identified: management commitment, awareness, anticipation, continuous learning and flexibility.

ABSTRACTThis study proposes a new method for modelling and analysing human-related accidents. It integrates HFACS (Human Factors Analysis and Classification System), which addresses most of the socio-technical system levels and offers a comprehensive failure taxonomy for analysing human errors, and AT (Activity Theory)-based approach, which provides an effective way for considering various contextual factors systematically in accident investigation. By combining them, the proposed method makes it more efficient to use the concepts and principles of AT. Additionally, it can help analysts use HFACS taxonomy more coherently to identify meaningful causal factors with a sound theoretical basis of human activities. Therefore, the proposed method can be effectively used to mitigate the limitations of traditional approaches to accident analysis, such as over-relying on a causality model and sticking to a root-cause, by making analysts look at an accident from a range of perspectives.To demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed method, we conducted a case study in nuclear power plants. Through the case study, we could confirm that it would be a useful method for modelling and analysing human-related accidents, enabling analysts to identify a plausible set of causal factors efficiently in a methodical consideration of contextual b...

“…equipment malfunction or human errors) jeopardize operation safety; conceptually they should be symmetrically assessed and then calculate the associated risks. With new safety methods and perspectives that keep up with the continuously increasing complexity of industry, accident models aiming at explaining events and guide risk assessment need to match this complexity [11]. Specific to the complex system, the P-SR model promotes a quantitative description of the safe state and risk boundary of the system, which will better instruct safety monitoring and relative control measures.…”

Abstract-In order to quantitatively and systematically explain the accident occur process and assess the risk for the complex system, this paper proposes a new accident-causing analysis model, i.e. perturbation-safety region (P-SR) model. In this model, the safety region definition is introduced for the quantitative description of the system safe status; also the change process of the system risk is analyzed. The four relative parts included in this model are described in details, such as the risk resource part, the perturbation part, the alarm and system change part, and the accident part. Finally, the proposed model is applied to railway transportation system, and the Wenzhou train collision is systematically analyzed, also the specified control measure for the train emergency dispatch is demonstrated.
