Abstract:

The role of a safety professional is central to the way organisations understand and manage safety since it is these expert roles that provide their organisations with their safety narrative. Yet despite the importance of this role, we understand very little about safety professional identity and safety professional practice – who are they and what do they do? This thesis asks the fundamental question for the existence of the safety profession – What is the role of a safety professional? The primary research design involved a 6-month longitudinal ethnographic case-study of professional identit

This thesis provides a critical evaluation of a real world project involving the researcher as leader of a review and subsequent development of a new Code of Conduct for the world’s largest health and safety body, the Institution of Occupational Safety Health (IOSH, 2011). The health and safety profession in the UK has seen many changes over the last 10-years, in particular a stronger focus on degree education, continual professional development (CPD) and Chartered Practitioner status. In addition to these progressive changes the profession has also seen a rise in the negative media coverage r

Abstract:

Magnetic resonance imaging is a major advancement in the diagnostic imaging field. Most patients can tolerate an MRI however, there are some who are unable to complete a lengthy scan while lying completely still without sedatives or anesthesia. Non-MRI healthcare providers are trained to use equipment that is “unsafe” in the MRI suite due to the strong magnetic field. Staff who are not fully knowledgeable and trained in MRI safety measures can endanger staff and patients. The purpose of this study was to determine the knowledge level of non-MRI healthcare providers regarding safety risks assoc

Abstract:

Portrayals of those who work in ‘safety’ increasingly conjure images of danger-avoiding crusaders on a quest to prevent exposure to even the most trivial of risks. “Bureaucratic”, “petty”, and “fun police” are just a few of the labels that have been applied to the modern-day safety practitioner, perpetuating a mostly unflattering stereotype. But just how accurate is this characterisation? How do safety practitioners view themselves? These questions were explored via investigating the behaviours and discourses of safety practitioners in the context of their participation in recreational activit

Abstract:

Highway Authorities in the United Kingdom have jurisdiction to control, maintain and improve the local highway network, and the Road Traffic Act 1988 places a duty on such authorities to take preventative measures to reduce road casualties. As such, engineers working for the Highway Authority are on the ‘front-line,’ and are required to deal directly with lay concerns relating to road safety. This study investigates the nature and characteristics of how local road safety issues are raised and how engineers respond to such issues in a local authority setting.

Abstract:

Magister Commercii - MCom<br>The aviation industry is one of many industries which is known to be a high-risk industry. Although it is a high risk industry, little research has been conducted within the industry especially with regards to safety culture. Safety culture is pivotal within the aviation industry as it reduces the potential to large scale disasters. While airlines are deemed to be highly reliable, when an accident occurs the cause usually tends to be human error. The aim of this study was to assess safety culture of professional pilots within selected South African based aviation o

UK health and safety legislation aims to protect employees from injury at work; professional footballers as employees are therefore covered by this legislation. A risk assessment approach to health and safety issues, as required by the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1992, has been undertaken to establish the epidemiological and aetiological factors related to injuries in professional football and to identify management and training procedures to reduce the incidence and severity of injuries.

Abstract:

As indicated by the emergence of occupational health and safety (OHS) professional bodies in the United States of America (1911), United Kingdom (1945) and Australia (1949), OHS advisors have had a role in industry for over 50 years. However, despite changes in legislation and in the major paradigm for OHS together with changes in the industrial and economic environment, it appears that the role of the OHS professional has changed little from the technically-oriented, people-focused, compliance approach of 50 years ago. It appears that senior managers may not seek the input of OHS professional

Nurses have a key role in keeping patients safe from medical errors because they work at the point of care where most errors occur.

The literature describes nursing work at the intersection of patient and health care system as well as barriers to providing safe patient care.

Abstract:

The use of an assessment model has shown large variation (disagreement) in the scoring of airline professionals who judged the performance of a captain and first officer in multiple video scenarios. A better understanding was thus required of the source of assessors’ disagreement in terms of both the scoring and reasoning of safety-critical crew performance and collaboration. In the first study, the present thesis quantitatively compared the scoring and assessment time of airline professionals (first officers, captains, and flight examiners) from two different airlines who were given versus

Abstract:

Stress related illness is one of the most critical health issues facing public safety professionals today. Much of the research has focused on interventions such as critical incident stress management and the provision of clinical and peer support to public safety professionals after a problem has been identified. The current study focused on identifying environmental factors that would increase resiliency to the harmful effects of working in a highly stressful profession. It was hypothesized that a higher reported sense of connectedness to and a sense of feeling needed and valued by community

Abstract:

This thesis examines the concept of safety in two groups of professionals working in the fields of aviation and medicine. These professional activities are uniquely structured but have been compared in the literature as having certain similar characteristics. However, recent attempts at strengthening patient safety by transferring methods from aviation have had only a small effect, with evidence suggesting that professional engagement has been poor. One possibility is that there are large disparities in conceptual understanding about safety across these groups. This was derived from socio-cult

Abstract:

Credentialing in hospitals is the first line of defense for improving patient safety and reducing medical errors by verifying a physician's medical knowledge and skills. There is no single set of standards for physician credentialing followed by all hospitals in the United States. Using May's normalization process theory, the purpose of this quantitative study was to survey medical services professionals (MSPs) to determine which physician credentialing standards were being used, the sources being used, and the frequency of standards used. The dependent variables in this study were the 13 idea

Abstract:

Introduction. Under-reporting adverse drug reactions (ADRs) is a significant healthcare problem as it delays identifying safety issues. Various strategies have been implemented to improve ADR reporting, however these have only been temporarily effective. Therefore, there is a need to create an effective intervention. Methods A mixed methods study was used for this research. In phase one, a retrospective analysis of hospital records identified whether ADR related admissions were reported. An analysis of a regulatory intervention to improve ADR reporting utilised a time series analysis to ass
