In safety science and practice, there have been various safety models, each of them reflecting a particular approach to safety management and accident causality. The large variety of models suggested in literature and applied in practice serve the communication of diverse perspectives towards safety …

This paper utilises a methodology named “Risk SituatiOn Awareness Provision” (RiskSOAP). RiskSOAP expresses the capability of a system to meet its safety objectives by controlling its processes and communicating threats and vulnerabilities to increase the situation awareness of its end-users and support …

Modern safety thinking and models focus more on systemic factors rather than simple cause-effect attributions of unfavourable events on the behaviour of individual system actors. This study concludes previous research during which we had traced practices of new safety thinking practices (NSTPs) in aviation …

Middels een Participatief Actie Onderzoek (PAO) is een groep praktijkprofessionals bezig met het opzetten van ketenzorg voor cliënten met een Cerebro Vasculair Accident (CVA) in de Noordelijke Maasvallei. Vanuit het Lectoraat Neurorevalidatie van de Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen (HAN) wordt ondersteuning …

In this paper we present a review of existing aviation safety metrics and we lay the foundation for our four-years research project entitled “Measuring Safety in Aviation – Developing Metrics for Safety Management Systems”. We reviewed state-of-the-art literature, relevant standards and regulations, …

Inleiding- Een Cerebro Vasculair Accident (CVA) is een belangrijke chronische neurologische ziekte die op nummer drie staat als het gaat om meest voorkomende doodsoorzaken. De verwachting is dat de prevalentie in de komende 20 jaar zal stijgen met 54%. Mensen met deze aandoening kunnen problemen krijgen …

Inleiding – Een cerebrovasculair accident (CVA) kan verschillende oorzaken hebben. Atriumfibrilleren (AF) is daar één van. Bij een patiënt ouder dan 75 jaar, met AF en een hartklepafwijking is de kans op een CVA tot meer dan 12%. Dit case report volgt een 82-jarige dame met cardiovasculaire problematiek …

Background: A significant part of neurological rehabilitation focuses on facilitating the learning of motor skills. Training can adopt either (more) explicit or (more) implicit forms of motor learning. Gait is one of the most practiced motor skills within rehabilitation in people after stroke because …

The objective of the study described in this paper is to define safety metrics that are based on the effectiveness of risk controls. Service providers define and implement such risk controls in order to prevent hazards developing into an accident. The background of this research is a specific need of …

Risk management is considered as the core process of an effective safety management system for identifying hazards and assessing risks. However, recent fatal hull loss accidents appear to have resulted from a combination of factors, none of which can alone cause an accident or even a serious incident. …
