Resilience engineering (RE) offers a new approach to safety in high-risk industries like construction refurbishment. Key indicators for assessing a resilient work environment include top management commitment, awareness, learning, and flexibility.
Area of Science:
- Occupational Safety and Health
- Industrial Engineering
- Risk Management
Background:
- Conventional safety management struggles with unpredictable events in high-risk sectors like construction refurbishment.
- Resilience engineering (RE) is an emerging methodology to manage uncertainty and enhance safety in hazardous work environments.
- A standardized set of RE indicators is lacking for assessing workplace resilience.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify and explore key Resilience Engineering (RE) indicators crucial for developing and evaluating resilient work environments.
- To specifically focus on the application of RE indicators within the construction refurbishment industry.
- To address the ambiguity and disparity in identifying relevant RE indicators.
Main Methods:
- A systematic literature review was conducted on research and scholarly articles published from 2004 to 2019.
- The review encompassed RE indicators across various high-risk industries.
- Data analysis involved descriptive analysis and co-occurrence-based network visualization.
Main Results:
- A total of 28 RE indicators were identified across 11 distinct high-risk industries.
- The most frequently cited and strongly correlated RE indicators were top-management commitment, awareness, learning, and flexibility.
- These four indicators demonstrate a significant relationship with the principles of Resilience Engineering.
Conclusions:
- The study provides a consolidated list of RE indicators valuable for stakeholders in high-risk industries.
- Findings aid in making informed decisions regarding the selection and implementation of RE indicators in research and practice.
- This research helps reduce ambiguity in identifying and applying RE indicators for improved workplace safety and resilience.
