Abstract

The field of occupational safety and health has become a science in itself that aims to develop rules and regulations that can be achieved in order to preserve human health and life from the risk of injury and to preserve property from damage and loss. The use of advanced solutions and applications in the field of safety and prevention related to occupational risks and health, such as the resilience of safety culture, will undoubtedly contribute to achieving these goals and ensuring, encouraging and providing safe and healthy workplaces by assessing risks and applying appropriate controls in this context.
Improving the safety and health system must be a culture for workers inside and outside the work environment, which has a positive impact on all safety indicators. Every work environment has specifications and characteristics that should be taken into account when formulating a safety strategy, as the strategy must be understood and applied by all employees according to the roles they play.
Many of the accidents within the work environment are due to wrong and unsafe behaviors for humans, failure to follow proper procedures, lack of knowledge in responding to emergency situations, or weakness in safety management practices within the work environment. Safety culture is considered one of the most important axes in the science of safety and occupational health, which has become increasingly global concerns and the trend towards a safety culture, has begun. After the Chernobyl disaster, this disaster brought the world’s attention to the importance of safety culture and the impact of human and administrative factors on safety efficiency in institutions.
In the past twenty years, several studies have shown that the concept of ”safety culture” is a key factor in reducing risks within the work environment. Although advanced safety management systems and a high-level safety culture have helped greatly in reducing the number of accidents, these classic methods may not have been sufficient to prevent accidents and disasters in the work environment. The classic safety culture can avoid the drift of the system into failures and losses by helping the organization improve its safety performance.
The new concept of resilience of safety culture helps the organization to adapt to situations and the ability to quickly return to a state of stability and resilience after any unfortunate accident or major event. Indeed, the resilience of a strong safety culture that relies on proactive rehabilitation can help the organization not only in preventing future accidents but also in recovering after any disruption or breakdown of the system. Therefore, the goal of resilience of a safety culture is more than avoiding accidents or reducing them. It works to have appropriate measures available at the right time to respond to normal situations or emergencies.
Due to the high complexity of modern technical systems, which led to new challenges in the areas of the safety system, which resulted in the inability to fully control these technical systems, in addition to the fact that the full knowledge of these complex technical systems was not clearly taken into account when designing safety systems in the industry. As such, new approaches such as resilience of safety culture are needed to enhance safety in these systems. As such, the resilience of safety culture as a new way of thinking about safety and accidents has attracted widespread interest from industries an.
