A six-level SCMM can be used to develop measurement tools and improve organizational resilience.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56149,"journal":{"name":"Safety and Health at Work","volume":"17 2","pages":"Pages 172-178"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13315978/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148364155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
