Abstract(s)
Crises that occur without warning test the abilities and resilience of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) systems. Resilience engineering seeks ways to enhance the ability of systems to thrive under diverse conditions across various domains. However, developing metrics to measure and analyze the resilience potential of the OSH management systems remains a significant challenge. Therefore, it is of the crucial to build up a robust and resilient OSH system, capable to handling unforeseen events and emergent risks in order to ensure workers’ safety and health. Resilience engineering has proposed the following four potentials for resilient performance (Hollnagel, 2017): potential to respond (knowing what to do); potential to monitor (knowing what to look for); potential to learn (knowing what has happened); and potential to anticipate (knowing what to expect). In view of the above, it is necessary to develop a new tool to measure the resilience potential of the OSH management system in this context according to the concepts introduced by resilience engineering.
