More extracts from Foundations of Safety Science, this time from Ch.11 on Resilience Engineering and the adaptive perspective. This is 1 of probably 2 or 3 more posts. Some extracts: These logics come from a wider body of safety science, which includes some intertwined positions, like: Parts 2 & 3…some other time. Ref: Dekker, S.… Continue reading Foundations of Safety Science: Resilience Engineering and safety as the presence of capacities

Behavior-Based in Hong Kong’s Safety Management Construction Industry

I found this an interesting throw-back to 1997, where Helen Lingard and Steve Rowlinson studied the impact of a BBS intervention in Hong Kong construction. ** Note 1: Noting the findings relate to HK industry from 1997, but there’s some broader learnings I think are really interesting and not just related to BBS, e.g. system… Continue reading Behavior-Based in Hong Kong’s Safety Management Construction Industry

Human Factors and New Views of safety applied to management systems: A systematic literature review

This conference paper from Leonidas Brasileiro, Julio Cesar de Faria Alvim Wasserman and Gilson Brito Alves Lima may interest you. It explored how different concepts under HF and New View have been applied to management systems via literature review (2000 – 2023). Note: I’ve skipped a lot, so check out the paper. Some extracts: ·      “New… Continue reading Human Factors and New Views of safety applied to management systems: A systematic literature review
