“…A 7-year-old girl had three of her fingers cut off by an elevator in a shopping mall. After the accident, the little girl's mother filed a suit against this shopping mall, and finally got a compensation of USD15 million [12]. Punitive compensation is adopted in the American justice system, while compensatory compensation is adopted in China's, so Chinese enterprises are rarely deterred.…”

Abstract. There is in general no big fluctuation in elevator safety in China, but there are still underlying problems in elevator safety guarantee, such as enterprises' excessive pursuit of profit, inefficient maintenance and weak social safety consciousness. Considering those problems, this paper suggested getting enterprises to further fulfill their main body responsibility, further improving the safety supervision pattern and further enhancing safety publicity education in the hope of providing reference for elevator safety guarantee in China.

“…While the OSH-PRM contemplates the influence of operational factors that affect the incidence and severity of accidents, these are not reflected in the statistical analyzes presented below. Furthermore, the model is intended to perform analysis based on average values and cannot be applied to a specific group of workers because of the set of reasons enumerated by Cuny and Lejeune (2003), namely that the likelihood of a worker having an accident depends on the number of accidents that he had in the past.…”

“…Several identification techniques are available (Carter and Smith 2006), some of which are based on brainstorming among people familiar with the installations at a work site, while other techniques are of a more systematic nature. According to Cuny and Lejeune (2003), recognising hazards can be a rather complicated task. Many different kinds of uncertainty factors contribute to the challenge of recognising hazards and a clear-cut determination of the source and level of the risk for each hazard is next to impossible.…”

The success and safety of many of today's industrial activities, such as constructing power plants, transmission lines and civil engineering objects, is often influenced by situations, when successful and safe work completion is associated with the implementation of various more or less complex multi-team (MT) layouts. Multi-team effort is characterised by the presence and interaction of numerous, not necessarily concurrent time-and space-constrained interfering activities, as well as by dormant risks. Such risks might threaten the fulfilment of the general task carried out by the main team and/or by other teams on the construction site. This analysis addresses the role of the dormant risks during the fulfilment of a non-simultaneous MT work. The objective of the analysis is to suggest an effective and physically meaningful probabilistic predictive model. The model is aimed at the understanding, quantification and effectively managing the dynamics of the system of interest. The emphasis is on the role of possible dormancies. The study is an extension of the authors' earlier research on spatial and time dimensions in the addressed problem. The study extends the risk management approach to a holistic level. Relevance to human factors/ergonomics theoryThis article characterises the risk dormancy phenomenon to be considered as a proper way of taking into account multi-team (MT) aspects in the occupational safety research. Furthermore, a holistic perception of MT functional complexity allows for a generalised view of MT mutual interaction instead of focusing in the single team behaviour.
