This study provides a comprehensive exploration of the dynamics among human critical success factors (CSFs) in maritime safety, identifying their most prominent cause-and-effect relationships. Employing the Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) methodology, the analysis combines a systematic literature review with insights from maritime experts. The study uniquely assesses perceptions across a broad sample of experts representing different professional groups—Executive Leadership Professionals, Onboard Operational Officers, and Administrative Professionals—highlighting variations and commonalities in their views on safety practices. The core findings emphasize the significance of an integrated approach to managing human factors, primarily through comprehensive training programs, robust leadership, and clear communication. Central to this approach are decision-making skills, which serve as a mediator, channeling the synergistic effects of the aforementioned causal factors to significantly enhance safety culture and strengthen crisis management practices within the maritime industry. By focusing on these pivotal areas, maritime organizations can enhance their safety protocols, thereby fostering a more resilient and effective safety management system. The interconnected nature of human CSFs in maritime safety, as identified in this study, opens paths for theoretical exploration in future research using diverse lenses such as Systems Theory, Contingency Theory, and Organizational Culture Theory.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21375,"journal":{"name":"Safety Science","volume":"189 ","pages":"Article 106886"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143907153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the ad- vent of automation, the operator’s role has shifted to that of a supervisor, intervening only during event-based scenarios. This supervisor may be situated either in the cabin or remotely, overseeing multiple machines. This article explores the technical design requirements and feasibility of a safety reasoning module (SRM) through a targeted use case involving the automation of a cut-to-length tree harvester. Specifically, it examines the automation of the log-feeding process required for stem inspection. The SRM’s primary function is to achieve adequate risk reduction while preserving the supervisor’s capacity for effective event-based intervention, thereby supporting a compelling safety case for maintaining a safe operational state at runtime. Currently, the supervisor plays a crucial role in the stem inspection process, requiring cabin presence which adds to the burden placed on required minimum risk reduction and event-based intervention. In the context of this evaluation the realisation of the SRM’s requirements for achieving the necessary risk reduction while conforming to Machine Safety standards indicates it is constrained by limitations in existing hardware and software capabilities. Despite these limitations, this use case outlines a structured approach for developing SRMs for highly automated off-road machin- ery. While achieving the desired risk reduction may not be feasible in this specific scenario, the findings provide valuable insights that can guide the development of SRMs in other applications where similar challenges arise.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21375,"journal":{"name":"Safety Science","volume":"188 ","pages":"Article 106883"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143887032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two studies were undertaken to achieve the objective. The first study aimed to develop a systems thinking-based model of safety management for the prevention and management of WRV in hospitals, and to use this model to prioritise resources for further development. The second study aimed to evaluate the three systems thinking-based safety management resources (supporting risk assessment, incident investigation and reporting culture) via a series of stakeholder workshops.

Emotional exhaustion was found to partially mediate the association between exploitative leadership and unsafe behaviors, and miners’ social capital, encompassing workflow network ties and friendship network ties, significantly moderates these relationships. Specifically, the influence of exploitative leadership on miners’ emotional exhaustion and unsafe behaviors is less pronounced when social capital levels are high and more pronounced when they are low.
