Developing and validating a scientific model for exploring safe work practices in interdisciplinary teams

Health research literature on quality and safety in recent years has pointed to a need to explore the characteristics of interdisciplinary team work unique to the health care sector and the particular organization. The literature also has identified a need for scientific models that explore and integrate existing findings concerning team dynamics. In this article, I attempt to address these concerns by developing and validating a scientific model for exploring safe work practices of interdisciplinary OR teams. Specifically, existing health research literature on quality and safety is reviewed to identify and incorporate various team-related aspects into dimensions of the proposed model. To further validate the model, I conduct an ethnographic study of safe work practices within an interdisciplinary OR setting. I find that safe work practices can be viewed as a product of the individual’s and team’s ability to draw on and combine explicit and tacit knowledge repertoires, which again is a product of the particular inner and outer structural conditions of a system. While the findings add their own unique distinctiveness to the scientific model, the findings also compare to the existing aspects and dimensions of the model. I conclude that the fit of the empirical data to the model improves the validity of the model, and also the potential application of the model in ethnographic research within different medical and/or team settings.     

Assessing safety culture in the Spanish nuclear industry through the use of working groups

This paper presents the design and the implementation of a methodology for measuring and improving safety culture at a nuclear power plant (NPP). The study has involved the completion of a pilot project aimed at seeing how to make use of the RADAR logic (Results, Approach, Deployment, Assessment and Review) of the EFQM model as a tool for the self assessment of safety culture in a nuclear power plant. The work was aimed at finding evidence of the safety culture that was in place at the plant and at identifying both the strengths of that culture and any areas in which it could be improved. The score obtained from an analysis of those strengths and areas for improvement has made it possible to prioritise the actions to be taken. The identification of perceptions and evidence, the agreement on the strong points and areas for improvement and the quantification of the safety culture have been performed by groups comprising volunteers who work at the NPP. The advantages of this methodology are assessed in the paper.

管制员安全能力模型研究

为准确评价管制员安全能力,基于能力的定义和管制员工作职责,界定管制员安全能力的内涵;依据该内涵及其工作特性,建立由身体素质、业务素质和意识3个结构维度组成的管制员安全能力模型。其中,身体素质包括生理状况和心理状况;业务素质包括教育状况、培训状况、技能状况和经验状况;意识包括安全意识和工作意识。在各项指标性质差异较大情况下,利用功效系数法实现评价指标的标准化以减小误差,客观反映指标情况,同时采用G1-法和熵值法集成的主客观综合赋权法确定指标的权重,在一定程度上弥补主客观单一赋权的不足,最后通过逼近理想解排序法(TOPSIS)评价管制员安全能力。结果表明,按照从大到小排序对管制员安全能力的影响因素依次为意识、身体素质和业务素质。就对所论能力的影响而言,心理状况强于生理状况;技能状况强教育、培训和经验状况;安全意识对意识的影响大于工作意识。     

煤矿安全投资效率评价的DEA模型及其应用

为评价煤矿安全投资效率,借助于数据包络分析(DEA)方法,选取某煤业集团6个煤矿的安全投入产出数据,构建DEA模型。用所得结果对各煤矿的安全投资效率进行分析,并提出改进意见。结果表明,随着安全投入的增加,煤矿综合生产效率、纯技术效率和规模报酬有所提升。通过规模报酬区间分析,发现煤矿安全投资存在不稳定的现象,煤矿在安全教育、职业健康及日常安全管理方面的投资还有待提高。建议煤矿决策层应根据实际情况加强煤矿安全投资持续性,并使决策单元向DEA的有效方向转变。实践说明,煤矿的安全投入是获得最大安全产出的关键。     

基于云模型的海上交通系统风险蒙特卡罗仿真

为扩展海上交通系统(MTS)风险的数据样本,更好地开展海上交通系统风险评估研究,有必要研究系统风险仿真中的模型与算法问题。在讨论不确定性信息中随机性和模糊性的基础上,引入云模型来取代概率分布参数下的蒙特卡罗仿真模型。经对无确定度的原始云特征参数求解,获得海上交通系统风险的还原云滴,有效增加海上交通系统风险数据样本,进而分析出风险数值仿真下的海上交通系统风险特征。通过有效性检验,云模型下仿真的变异系数比基于对数正态分布下仿真的结果更稳定。云模型下的仿真结果更准确地逼近原始样本的特性。风险的模糊性和随机性信息量化问题得到解决。     

基于模糊Bow-tie模型的深水海底管道定量风险评价研究

为有效评价深水海底管道风险,提出一种新的模糊Bow-tie模型定量风险评价方法。综合运用Bow-tie图、模糊集以及德尔菲法,定量分析油气泄漏概率。进一步利用层次分析法(AHP)研究油气泄漏后果的严重程度,给出泄漏后果因素的权重系数选择方案。同时,结合风险矩阵,实现对高风险深水海底管道的定量风险评价。将上述方法用到具体海底管道工程中,得出目标海底管道泄漏概率属于A级,泄漏后果属于Ⅲ级,泄漏风险为高风险,这一结果与实际情况较为符合。

保持直接顶稳定,降低其突变所引起的危害是沿空留巷顶板控制的关键。基于沿空留巷直接顶力学模型,采用能量平衡分析法,建立直接顶突变的燕尾突变模型。结合某工程实例,阐述沿空留巷直接顶稳定性突变机理,分析巷帮煤体支撑力、巷内支护阻力、充填体支撑力对直接顶稳定性突变的影响。实践表明,增加工作面超前加固范围,巷内支护采用高预应力强力锚杆与锚索等主动支护,巷旁采用膏体充填,能够提高充填体早期强度,延缓直接顶稳定性突变的发生和减轻突变发生的烈度。
