“…This study was based on primary data collected as part of the US Naval Surface Forces' Afloat Safety Climate Assessment Survey (ASCAS; Russell et al, 2022), which was instituted to monitor operational safety‐related measures following the 2017 accidents. The ASCAS was administered anonymously online to sailors assigned to 73 ships between November 2021 and April 2022.…”

The United States Navy is a high-reliability organization that must maintain optimum performance under challenging conditions. One key challenge for sailors is obtaining sufficient sleep, which can lead to fatigue and other outcomes that compromise operational readiness. Identifying sleep issues and their causes is critical for military leaders to care for their personnel, and to make informed, risk-based operational decisions. Though previous studies in shipboard environments have implicated factors responsible for insufficient sleep (e.g. poor sleep environment and work demands), there has been less research into characterizing the complex interplay among such factors in relation to sleep

“…Therefore, the ROKN should establish detailed strategies to stimulate worker participation in OHSMS activities. Examples include developing and evaluating indicators for measuring safety culture and climate [ 30 , 32 , 33 ], providing incentives for safety and risk propositions [ 34 ], or citing proven ’worker involvement incentive programs’ [ 35 ].…”

Evaluation of effectiveness and improvement factors of occupational health and safety management system in the Republic of Korea Navy based on AHP-entropy and IPA

The Republic of Korea Navy (ROKN) has applied Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS), but the effectiveness of OHSMS is being questioned due to continuous industrial accidents that continue to occur. Although OHSMS, which has been generally applied in enterprises, has more potential for improper implementation in the military, there are few studies on OHSMS in the military. Therefore, this study verified the effectiveness of OHSMS in the ROKN and derived improvement factors. This study was conducted in a two-step process. First, we surveyed 629 workers at the ROKN workplaces to confirm the effectiveness of OHSMS by comparing occupational health and safety (OHS) efforts according to whether OHSMS was applied and the period of application. Second, 29 naval OHSMS experts evaluated the factors for improving OHSMS using two decision-making tools: Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)-entropy and Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA). The study results indicate that the OHS efforts of OHSMS-applied workplaces were similar to that of unapplied. Also, no better OHS efforts were identified in workplaces with more extended OHSMS application periods. There were five improvement factors of OHSMS applied to the ROKN workplaces, with the highest weight in the following order: consultation and participation of workers; resources; competence; hazard identification and risk assessment; and organizational roles, responsibilities, and authorities. The effectiveness of OHSMS in the ROKN was insufficient. Therefore, the ROKN needs focused improvement efforts on the five requirements to implement OHSMS practically. These results can be helpful information for the ROKN to apply OHSMS more effectively for industrial safety.

“…Since increasing people realize the necessity of institutional elements in safe work, a lot of SC studies were executed in different fields, covering construction (Newaz et al, 2019), manufacturing (Liu et al, 2015;Ma and Yuan, 2009), oil and gas (Kvalheim and Dahl, 2016), transportation (Amponsah-Tawiah and Mensah, 2016;Xu et al, 2018), nuclear facilities (Kasim et al, 2019), and airlines (Ji et al, 2019). Meanwhile, some studies on different kinds of SC appeared in recent years, such as organizational safety climate (Russell et al, 2022), nurses' safety climate (Memarbashi et al, 2021), and psychosocial safety climate (Dollard et al, 2012;Dollard,2022). Besides, relevant studies of SC are global and encompass Western and Eastern cultures (Murphy et al, 2014).…”
