“…In this study, DEA is handled as a useful methodology for DMU ranking and data analysis. Ranked results of DEA are illustrated in Table 5 based on the RE of Model (4). In all tables pertaining to DEA results, column 1 represents DMU number, column 2 shows efficiency scores, and column 3 indicates pertinent rank of each DMU.…”

“…Hence, safety analysis measures have shifted from a conventional and reactive orientation toward a new proactive attitude. 4 Development of a new framework has been prompted in social, technical, financial, and environmental facets in complex systems to rapidly identify and interpret the safety conditions and requirements. 5 Thus, resilience engineering (RE) is an attempt to overcome the limitations and weaknesses of conventional approaches toward safety and risk management.…”

Resilience engineering is a new and proactive attitude toward improving the safety and reliability of complex industrial systems such as oil and gas companies and petrochemical plants. This study aims to evaluate the effect of redundancy on a resilient system and determine which redundancy in different aspects including human resources and equipment items (hardware, software, and information) is more efficient in a resilient system through data envelopment analysis. Data collection was performed in a petrochemical plant through a questionnaire. Then, reliability of the data was calculated through Cronbach's alpha test. Next, the effects of human redundancy and equipment redundancy on resilience engineering are examined by means of data envelopment analysis approach. The results show that efficiency of the resilient system is improved by considering both equipment redundancy and human redundancy. It is also revealed that human redundancy is more effective in resilient system performance compared to equipment redundancy. Hence, human redundancy plays a vital role in efficiency enhancement of resilient systems. This study is among the first ones that investigate the impact of the redundancy in resilient systems in different aspects including human and equipment redundancy by means of data envelopment analysis approach and highlights the gaps between managers and staff about the impact of equipment redundancy and human redundancy on resilience engineering.

Thai food industry employs a massive number of skilled and unskilled workers. This may result in an industry with high incidences and accident rates. To improve safety and reduce the accident figures, this paper investigates factors influencing safety implementation in small, medium, and large food companies in Thailand. Five factors, i.e., management commitment, stakeholders' role, safety information and communication, supportive environment, and risk, are found important in helping to improve safety implementation. The statistical analyses also reveal that small, medium, and large food companies hold similar opinions on the risk factor, but bear different perceptions on the other 4 factors. It is also found that to improve safety implementation, the perceptions of safety goals, communication, feedback, safety resources, and supervision should be aligned in small, medium, and large companies.

“…According to Zohar (1980) in Nahrgang et al (2011), the 'safety climate encompasses perceptions of safety-related events, practices, and procedures'. The following questions have been selected to fit variables used in previous studies (see Alhemood et al [2004] for a detailed review of the literature):…”

The coincidence between trends in the decline of workers’ health and the increasing practice of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) seems a paradox. Using data from the French Employment Survey 2005, in this article the authors develop an index of responsible prevention by combining a score of severity of working conditions with a score of risk prevention at the workplace. The authors then explore the influence of this variable on the propensity to stop working for medical reasons. The results show that prevention increases workers’ health status and suggest the existence of an optimal level of social CSR expenditure.
