This study conducts a practical application of shipboard operation human reliability analysis (SOHRA) to a crankshaft overhauling operation of a general cargo ship at dry-docking period. The SOHRA approach includes error producing condition (EPC) and general task type (GTT) parameters to consistently calculate the human error probability (HEP) values of operation steps. In this case, a comprehensive overhauling of main engine was planned at shipyard since the ship has experienced a catastrophic failure. An onboard survey to ship engine room is conducted to monitor the operational conditions. The targeted operation, involves disassembly, maintenance, and reassembly stages, is monitored based on 39 sub-tasks. According to the initial findings, immediate recovery actions are suggested to eliminate critical safety issues in a timely manner. Moreover, an extended discussion through long-term safety recommendations are also provided. The results revealed from case study illustrates that HEP values in maintenance operations are sensitive to ship operating conditions. The proposed approach is found very useful by company executives to support ship technical superintendents in critical operation monitoring. The further study is considered to develop mobile application of SOHRA specific to maintenance operations onboard ships.

Safety Issues

Crisis resource management (CRM) and patient safety are fundamental to the practice of anesthesiology. Human error and system failures continue to play a substantial role in preventable errors that lead to adverse outcomes or death. Many of these deaths are not the result of inadequate medical knowledge and skill, but occur because of problems involving communication and team management. CRM addresses these patient safety issues by addressing behavioral skills for critical events. These skills provide tools to help the leader manage the team and to help the team work together; they include calling for help, establishing situation awareness, using checklists, and communicating effectively. Effective strategies to teach these skills include the use of simulation for team training and Team STEPPS.

Background: Though the introduction of modern safer underground coal mining methods and automation, mine accidents still cause loss of lives, time, and money. This paper aims to analyze in detail the causes of safety and environmental issues in the coal mining industry, as well as the impact of IoT on coal mining.Method: A systematic review was conducted. A comprehensive search involving Web of Science, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Science direct databases was conducted using a combination of the following keywords: mining accidents, coal mining injuries, human error in mining, intelligent mining, etc. The inclusion criteria: (1) the study was published between January 2000 and June 2020; (2) the participants were coal mining employees/coal mining accidents and accidents were work-related; (3) the study focused on identifying causes of coal mining safety issues or accidents, factors that influence unsafe behaviors and accidents in coal mining, coal mining rescue management, coal mining rescue plan, coal mining environmental impact, mining information technology, intelligent mining; (4) the study was published in a refereed journal; (5) the study was written in English. In this paper, articles were retained if they were original studies.Results: A total of 59 papers were reviewed in detail. Safety issues in coal mining and the impact of IoT were identified and categorized into three main factors: general safety issues, environmental factors, and mining information technology. Recently, the coal mines had become mechanized and automated leading to improved safety, productivity, and cost. However, Human factors such as lack of appropriate skill, lack of experience, perceptual error, and unsafe behaviors, as well as lack of detailed emergency rescue plan were the leading causes of coal mining injuries. Furthermore, abandoned mining sites' carbon emission is greater than active sites.Conclusion: The study recommends further research to be conducted using different psychological models to understand human factors and design effective safety management systems. And the environmental impact of abandoned mining sites should be given due attention.

The publication evaluates the applicability of John Boyd’s OODA Loop (observe-orient-decide-act) theory for the analysis of human error in the maritime industry. The predominant share of human error among the range of maritime safety issues is revealed. The interdependence between the different phases of the OODA Loop to achieve the desired state of maritime safety is studied, namely the correct actions in each of the implemented cycles. So, the paramount importance of situational awareness as a prerequisite for safety is proven. The mechanisms for manifestation of other factors endangering maritime safety are also analyzed, such as: lack of competence, fatigue, stress, etc. In conclusion, the role of the time factor in the realization of the OODA Loop is assessed and in this context, approaches are offered to increase the possibility for realization of a quality loop.

Safety Issues

The growing considerations of people, profit and planet have emphasized the integration of sustainable concepts in the construction processes. The previous research in sustainable construction has underlined the issues pertaining to raw material and its manufacturing; design aspects along with the occupancy phase of a building life cycle. However, concerned over GHG emissions from the operation of non-road diesel equipment are still being ignored in the established literature. These non-road construction equipment consume fossil fuel and a serious threat for green environment. In addition to this, health and safety issues are also important concerns for the human well-being. Thus, mitigating these impacts are the important aspects of sustainable planning for onsite construction activities. A questionnaire survey was carried out to explore the contractors views towards potential challenges that are relevant with the growing attention of sustainability in construction sector. A group of large civil contractors of Malaysian construction industry were solicited through online survey to prioritize the potential barriers. The research findings presents a broader view and a number of challenges that inhibits the contractors for acquiring, adopting and implementing sustainable practices for onsite mechanized construction activities.

Abstract Brazilian offshore drilling operations are carried out in a highly demanding and complex working environment. The geological characteristics of the most productive Brazilian reservoirs, located on the so-called Pre-Salt basin, actually implies for their exploration the overcoming of water depths greater than 1,500 meters and the construction of wells that can reach up to 7,000 meters of length. In such environment, human reliability plays a primordial role regarding safety issues. On the same token, in the field of risk analysis, the consideration of human behavior holds a unique position and its relevance for the consubstantiation of accidents is widely recognized throughout the literature. Nonetheless, a comprehensive way to model it is still an ongoing effort. In this challenge, human error, understood both as a success or a failure probability, provided the first base for the development of techniques capable to infer the outcome towards man machine interaction (MMI). Such stand point gave birth to a series of tools and methodologies, usually called as human reliability analysis (HRA) first generation tools. In an attempt to address the perceived deficiencies of the first-generation tools, the decade of the 1990’s saw the introduction of HRA models based on cognitive assumptions, naturally called HRA second-generation tools. On its turn, the cognitive modeling perspective has demanded the adoption of more sophisticated architectures that, ultimately, have been leading to the dynamically account of the cognitive process. In this context, the present work aims to contribute for this debate analyzing the use of the Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Compliance (DISC) personality test in the assessment of accidents likelihood on offshore drilling operations in Brazil. By means of actual data collected during the years 2016 and 2017, the paper develops a qualitative discussion of the foreseen outcomes regarding accident proneness considering the working and the under-pressure profiles advocated on DISC.
