Safety culture enhancement through the implementation of IAEA guidelines

Combining a Safety Management Process with a Safety Framework

“…+PFW is an approach which provides a way of ensuring the correct implementation of a PFW system. When a system, which is life safety critical, is implemented and operated, it is important that the users of the solution should be totally conversant with the items addressed by the system [14]. They should be aware of the limitations of the system, understand their responsibilities and know the consequences of any failure to adequately perform the roles and task associated with the system.…”

Effectiveness evaluation methodology for safety processes to enhance organisational culture in hazardous installations

“…It is therefore very important to keep them safe from both accidents and sabotage, not only as an obligation to prevent adverse consequences for humans and the environment, but also to prevent any concomitant damage to science and industry. In particular, the need to develop indicators relating to organisational and safety culture aspects emerged during discussions with management on the importance of a learning organisation oriented proactively towards improvements [12]. This was coupled with the need felt within the organisation to avoid indicators that could allow easy or convenient conclusions on the safety of the organisation.…”

“…level of acceptability may be established. Non-numerical values are converted into numerical values, also by an elicitation process [12].…”

“…In this context, the aim of the approach presented in this article is to respond to the need to monitor and assess progress against set targets with a view to implementation of a programme to enhance safety and organisational culture [12]. It proposes a specific process-view approach for effectiveness evaluation of safety culture and safety awareness indicators by means of a multi-level system that has been deployed at a nuclear research reactor.…”

Safety Culture Oversight: An Intangible Concept for Tangible Issues within Nuclear Installations

“…Constructed over the years, these frames of reference are made of multiple layers [2] and drive people's actions and shape perceptions related to safety. As a critical dimension ensuring success or causing failure in nuclear organisations [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13], safety culture has generated numerous studies in recent years [14] (A google scholar search of the keyword "safety culture" revealed 3,540,000 articles. For the period 2008-2018, 1,620,000 articles have been identified-research performed in September 2018).…”
