TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of traditional risk management, and a comprehensive and extensive review of published literature concerning the latest efforts of managing risk using technologies, such as BIM, automatic rule checking, knowledge based systems, reactive and proactive IT (information technology)-based safety systems.

TL;DR: In this article, a risk assessment study has been conducted in a large manufacturing company in which the hazards were determined based on experience, and the past 10 years' statistical records were categorized and each category has been prioritized using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method.

TL;DR: It is concluded that a safety-in-numbers effect exists, but it is still not clear whether this effect is causal, nor, if causal, which mechanisms generate the effect.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the concept of the Z number to capture the inherent uncertainty exists in the experts' judgments in the process of failure modes ranking in conventional FMEA.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new method called D-DEMATEL which combines D number theory and decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATel) to identify the critical success factors (CSFs) in emergency management is proposed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a group decision-making under the fuzzy environment was designed to contribute both theoretically and practically contributes to aircraft landing system as one of the important potential failure mode in aerospace industry.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the human factors associated with coal mine gas explosion and found that unsafe behavior existed in and had precipitated influence to all gas explosion accidents in sample, and all unsafe behaviors can be analyzed from 3 dimensions: accident site, working craft and equipment and installation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured and compared the speed of three bicycle types (conventional bicycles, pedelecs (pedalling supported up to 25 km/h), S-pedelecs and pedelec riders were, on average, 2km/h faster than cyclists.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the applicability of UAV for safety inspection on construction sites, focusing on the identification of the requirement that can be inspected and the non-compliances with the safety requirements established.

TL;DR: In this paper, a semi-quantitative framework based on Monte Carlo simulation is proposed for the analysis of air traffic management (ATM) systems, taking account of the system response to different operating conditions and different risk states.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the moderating effect of safety-specific transformational leadership on the relationship between perceived employer safety obligations and employee safety performance behavior and attitudes, and found that perceived safety obligations are positively associated with employee safety compliance, safety participation and attitudes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System-Railway Accidents (HFACS-RAs) framework is proposed to identify and classify human and organizational factors involved in railway accidents.

TL;DR: In this paper, a qualitative approach was employed to explore the attitudes and experiences of construction workers toward risk-taking behaviors and to identify the underlying reasons that may explain why construction workers take or do not take risks at work.

TL;DR: A review focusing on the validity and validation of QRA in a safety context, focusing on three questions: which theoretical views on validity and validated QRA can be found, and what kinds of claims are made about QRA.

TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated safety intervention model affecting workers' safety behavior was developed and tested, and structural equation modelling was performed to identify the most significant intervention-related safety practices, which are to be the focus in handling safety management.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate selected operational aspects of convoy navigation in ice conditions in the Finnish waters of the Gulf of Finland, based on data of the Automatic Identification System and sea ice hindcast data.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a hybrid approach to assess potential operational contingencies in a real shipboard accident since safety at sea is of paramount significance in maritime transportation industry, which integrates an Analytical Network Process (ANP) method with Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS).

TL;DR: It is argued that health care organisations might improve their ability to learn from past experience by studying not only what goes wrong, but also by considering what goes right, i.e. by learning from everyday clinical work.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-phase research that studied near misses related to crane work and their safety risk potential is presented. But the structural analysis of near-miss reports has not yet been investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether perceptions of organisational change stressors were associated with burnout (i.e., exhaustion, cynicism, and professional efficacy), and the extent to which supervisor support and job control were directly related to burnout.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the temporal relationships between the safety performance indicators measured at the project, including traditional lagging indicators, as well as expected leading indicators, and revealed complex interactions between safety indicators over time.

TL;DR: The analysis presented in this paper argues that rather than “driver error”, the underlying cause of this tragic incident could be in fact more akin to a “designer error’ implicating the design of the Autopilot feature itself.

TL;DR: The most important causes are identified as human factor differences between collision and grounding accidents, decision errors, resource management deficiencies, violations, skill-based errors and miscommunication.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an analysis of navigational shipping accidents in the Northern Baltic Sea area which occurred in the period 2007-2013, aiming to reconstruct the accident conditions based on the best available data sources.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the likely behaviors of train passengers in an emergency evacuation and examine four crucial theoretical issues on the passengers' evacuation, including reactive vs. proactive behaviors, cooperative vs. competitive behaviours, symmetry breaking, and route/exit choice.

TL;DR: In this article, a study that implemented both qualitative and quantitative analysis methods for a structured investigation of tower-crane-related incident stories (near misses and accidents) is presented.

TL;DR: A new safety assessment model for complex system based on the conditional generalized minimum variance (CGMV) and the belief rule base (BRB) is proposed and has shown superior accuracy and less computation complexity.

TL;DR: Based on the fire characteristic and the maintenance of fire equipment in the large-scale commercial buildings, a fire risk assessment system for large scale commercial buildings was proposed in this paper, which focused on evaluating the safety performance of the fire protection system in the buildings.

TL;DR: In this paper, a historical analysis is performed on a sample of 1063 accidents that occurred in onshore pipelines, to illustrate the risk associated to these systems and its significance in land-use planning.
