Safety compliance on offshore platforms: A multi-sample survey on the role of perceived leadership involvement and work climate

Roles of owners' leadership in construction safety: The case of high-speed railway construction projects in China

“…Several studies, for instance O'Dea and Flin (2001) and Dahl and Olsen (2013), analyzed the impact of owners' leadership involvement in daily work operations on the level of safety performance, but they were mostly undertaken outside of the construction industry. In addition, these studies only depicted the general impacting path from safety leadership to safety performance indicators (such as worker safety behavior), but did not interpret the specific leadership practices or detailed managerial measures promoted by safety leadership to improve safety performance.…”

Root causes of hydrocarbon leaks on offshore petroleum installations

“…Figure 8 demonstrates that verification is also a focus aspect for the leaks that occurred during the night shift. Dahl & Olsen (2013) have investigated the relationship between compliance and leadership on offshore installations. They have found that strong leadership has a direct positive influence as well as indirect influence on compliance with steering documentation.…”

“…It is not unlikely that a significant extent of compliance failure has had some connection to a lack of leadership. The study by Dahl & Olsen (2013) also focused on workplace accidents. However, there is no proof that the results are applicable to major accident precursors.…”

“…It should be noted that the respondents to the survey in the work by Dahl & Olsen (2013) were all employees of the operator company and were not subcontractors. That also fits in well with the present context.…”

Analysis of hydrocarbon leaks and verification as an operational barrier

“…The company has worked profoundly to improve its performance, and the reduced number of HC leaks due to manual interventions in 2012 may be a first sign that this work has been fruitful. Dahl and Olsen (2013) has shown that management leadership is essential for employees' compliance with rules and procedures. This is based on data from a questionnaire survey, and is most likely reflecting mainly occupational accidents.…”
