“…Adaptability empowers employees and management of construction SMEs to anticipate problems, keep up with changes, embrace new ways of doing things, cope with emergencies, and adjust swiftly to alterations. Adaptability enables workers in construction SMEs to respond effectively to changes and different demands on construction sites [71]. The adaptability of employees of construction SMEs to safety practices is one of the surest means to reduce the occurrences of accidents among construction SMEs.…”

The Ghanaian construction industry faces challenges in managing safety, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that need more resources. This research addressed the critical need for a positive safety culture framework specifically designed for SMEs in Ghana. The study adopts the Delphi research approach, which involves a series of questionnaire ‘rounds’ to gather and refine information and develop a collaborative safety culture framework with SME stakeholders. The study employed a mixed-methods strategy, harnessing quantitative and qualitative data to meet the research goals. The critical components of the developed framework included safety commitment, adaptability, information, awareness, culture, and performance. The research offered evidence-based recommendations for effective positive safety practices across Ghana’s SMEs by analysing the relationship between these interventions and safety outcomes. Applying the framework should reduce workplace accidents and foster a positive safety culture that aligns with international best practices.

“…This has been historically highlighted by affixing the suffix -II to the resilience engineering view of Safety, precisely to explicitly mark this caesura against the traditional perspective (Safety-I): Safety-II intends to make as many things as possible go well in contrast to Safety-I, which intends to make as few things as possible go wrong [50]. Although the reversed Safety-II view appears, at first sight, to be in complete opposition, it is intended to be an inclusive view of Safety-I [51][52][53]. The former does not contradict the latter but includes it since a system that maximizes successful performance minimizes failures as well.…”

Background: Endogenous and exogenous factors impact the operational characteristics of supply chains, affecting wholesale warehouses. The survival of a warehouse is often threatened by disruptive events that alter infrastructure and performance. The emergence of COVID-19 exemplified the need for adaptability in retail goods supply chains, emphasizing the necessity for responding to external shocks. Methods: The MARLIN (Method wArehouse ResiLience dIstruptioN) method, founded on theories and models of resilience engineering is introduced. MARLIN is a practical tool designed to identify key areas requiring intervention in response to disruptive events. An empirical test was conducted in an Italian warehouse. Results: The conducted test yielded tangible results, demonstrating the efficacy of the method. It successfully pinpointed areas necessitating intervention and identified Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) associated with disruptions. The study not only underscores the importance of data collection but also highlights the often-overlooked significance of warehouse management. Conclusions: The study establishes MARLIN as a valuable asset for stakeholders involved in disruption management. Its application has proven instrumental in recognizing areas of intervention and identifying KPIs related to disruptions. Ongoing research endeavors to broaden its applicability across diverse supply chain scenarios, aiming to enhance situational awareness and enable proactive risk assessment through what-if analysis.

O objetivo é aplicar a abordagem Safety-II na construção por meio de um framework, analisando o trabalho diário para aprender com os fracassos e sucessos. Para isso, acompanhou-se a execução de atividades diárias em uma obra industrial, avaliando o trabalho como executado (WAD) e o trabalho como imaginado (WAI). Foram realizadas reuniões semanais com a equipe de gestão e de execução da obra para discussão de melhorias na realização do trabalho. Os resultados indicam que a aplicação dessa abordagem promoveu o aprendizado organizacional e individual, e comprovou que o sistema apresentou capacidade de adaptação diante da ocorrência de eventos indesejados.
