This paper presents a model of maritime safety management and its subareas. Furthermore, the paper links the safety management to the maritime traffic safety indicated by accident involvement, incidents reported by Vessel Traffic Service and the results from Port State Control inspections. Bayesian belief networks are applied as the modeling technique and the model parameters are based on exper...

the city is alive with dynamic systems, where parks and urban green spaces have high strategic importance which help to improve living conditions. urban parks are used as visual landscape with so many benefits such as reducing stress, reducing air pollution and producing oxygen, creating opportunities for people to participate in physical activities, optimal environment for children and decreas...

This paper presents a three step approach to improve safety in the Weld of interactive systems. The approach combines, within a single framework, previous work in the Weld of barrier analysis and modelling, with model based design of interactive systems. The approach Wrst uses the Safety Modelling Language to specify safety barriers which could achieve risk reduction if implemented. The detaile...

This paper introduces a management system suitable for hazardous technology organizations which has been developed based on the assumptions that in these organizations safety is a critical strategic factor, the existence of an enhanced safety culture is a crucial condition for safety and that safety culture enhancement implies in organizational changes. The management system was theoretically d...

Audits have long been used as a tool for checking that safety management processes are being followed and system safety principles applied, to provide senior managers with assurance that safe outcomes occur by design and not by luck. In a complex hierarchical organisation, the tendency is for audits to concentrate on safety management systems based on individual units within the hierarchy, rath...
