Human behavior during fire emergencies significantly influences evacuation processes and overall safety outcomes. This literature review synthesizes findings from various research journals to explore the complexities of human behavior and evacuation dynamics in fire incidents. Key factors such as decision-making, evacuation timelines, and the impact of environmental factors on evacuation efficiency are examined. The study underscores the critical role of understanding human behavior in formulating effective fire safety strategies, particularly in residential settings where behavioral responses differ from those in public, commercial, or industrial spaces. Insights from this review emphasize the need for further research into the interplay between spatial planning, demographic factors, and infrastructure in optimizing evacuation procedures for enhanced fire safety in urban environments.

“…A higher uncertainty of potential hazards in older ships can also create fear and stress among crewmembers, limiting the ability of workers to prevent and contain errors (Lu and Tsai ). For instance, Karahalios () finds that older ships (those over 15 years old) tended to have a higher number of engine room fires, which increased crewmembers’ psychological stress and reduced their ability to cope with errors. Age‐related deterioration in a vessel such as corrosion, cracking, and local denting can also compromise the ship's structure, making maintenance challenging (Rizzo et al.…”

Linking Workplace Safety to Operational Disruptions: A Moderated Mediation Analysis in Commercial Vessels

L ittle is known about the mechanism of how workplace safety may affect operational disruptions manifested as unplanned maintenance in commercial vessels. Building upon the high reliability organization theory as a broad framework, we propose that workplace safety climate influences how employees identify and report errors at work. Specifically, no-blame error reporting mediates the relationship between safety climate and unplanned maintenance in vessels. Additionally, we posit that the mediation effect varies among vessels in that it is stronger (weaker) in newer (older) vessels that are easier (harder) to maintain operationally. We test the moderated mediation framework at the vessel level of analysis using an archival survey data with multiple responses from 1,169 crewmembers in 86 marine vessels. Our results lend support to the mediation effect in that safety climate facilitates no-blame error reporting, which subsequently reduces the frequency of unplanned maintenance. In particular, the effect of safety climate on unplanned maintenance is fully mediated by no-blame error reporting. As vessel owners attempt to maximize their return on investments in aging ships, the mediation effect shows a high level of safety climate in a vessel is indirectly associated with a significantly lower level of unplanned maintenance rate relative to a similar age vessel but with an average level of safety climate. However, the mediation effect weakens as a vessel ages. This study contributes to important insights into how safety climate can reduce operational disruptions (unplanned maintenance events) through error reporting behaviors, contingent upon the age of ocean carriers in logistics companies.
