Despite advancements in ensuring safety, high-risk and highly regulated organizations have not been immune to major life-threatening accidents. Growing evidence indicates that these accidents are not solely attributable to the limitations of technical barriers, but rather to the complex interactions among technical, human, and organizational factors. While both the literature and regulatory frameworks have acknowledged […]

Research on risk perception has largely emphasized the process of its social construction, neglecting the interaction between risk perception and the way risk is actually managed. There is a rich literature on risk perception, safety culture and […]
