Increasingly, Canadian engineers have adopted risk-informed approaches to design, construct, and operate facilities. Yet, few engineers have comprehensive expertise in identifying and managing risk or understanding how the various management systems (project management, safety management, risk management, etc.) interact. In 2015 in Canada, there were over 756,000 injury claims, 232,000 with time lost from the job, and 852 fatalities from occupational injuries and disease. Such incidents also result in environmental damage and significant business losses. Engineers failed to foresee and prevent these incidents; despite that our Code of Ethics states that protection of the public is paramount. Even after highly visible, high-consequence incidents, companies fail to fix the root causes due to an emphasis on production over safety, compliance-based (CYA) safety programs, and blame-oriented culture.These failures are not surprising; however, as Safety Management Systems (SMS) tend to overlook: i) production versus safety demands, ii) integration of competencies and organizational culture promoted by different management systems, and/or iii) contracting as means of outsourcing risk. The objective of my research program is to enhance SMS modeling by incorporating these missing elements. Overall, my research has the potential to make several important contributions over the next five years: > First, I will identify, operationalize, and model the relationships amongst an expanded set of SMS elements for key performance indicators used by engineering companies.> Second, I will apply this model to an expanded set of companies (e.g., construction owners, prime contractors, subcontractors) to examine how the model's parameters and resulting performances vary by organizational type. > Third, I will examine the applicability of this model to inter-organizational projects (owners prime contractor subcontractors) in various industries (e.g., mining versus refining) to examine how competencies ? such as a refinery's use of process safety management techniques ? may be conveyed to other project/operations partners like tailings.Thus, the relative effectiveness of differing practice and process prescriptions can be assessed to make the business case' for their implementation. This research will be used to promote safer and more productive work environments and the overall competitiveness of Canadian industry.

加拿大工程师越来越多地采用风险知情的方法来设计、建造和运营设施。然而，很少有工程师具备识别和管理风险或了解各种管理系统（项目管理、安全管理、风险管理等）如何相互作用的全面专业知识。 2015 年，加拿大有超过 756,000 起工伤索赔，232,000 起因工伤索赔，以及 852 人因职业伤害和疾病死亡。此类事件还会造成环境破坏和重大商业损失。工程师未能预见和预防这些事件；尽管我们的道德准则规定保护公众至关重要。即使在发生了高度可见、后果严重的事件之后，由于对生产的重视超过了安全、基于合规性 (CYA) 的安全计划以及以指责为导向的文化，公司也未能解决根本原因。这些失败并不令人意外；然而，由于安全管理体系 (SMS) 往往会忽视：i) 生产与安全需求，ii) 不同管理体系促进的能力和组织文化的整合，和/或 iii) 承包作为外包风险的手段。我的研究计划的目标是通过合并这些缺失的元素来增强 SMS 建模。总体而言，我的研究有可能在未来五年内做出一些重要贡献： > 首先，我将针对工程公司使用的关键绩效指标，识别、操作和建模一组扩展的 SMS 元素之间的关系。 > 其次，我将把这个模型应用到更多的公司（例如，建筑业主、主承包商、分包商），以检查模型的参数和结果性能如何随组织类型而变化。 > 第三，我将研究该模型对各个行业（例如采矿与炼油）的组织间项目（业主、主承包商、分包商）的适用性，以检查能力如何？ 例如炼油厂使用过程安全管理技术？ 可能会传达给其他项目/运营合作伙伴，例如尾矿。因此，可以评估不同实践和流程规定的相对有效性，以为其实施制定业务案例。这项研究将用于促进更安全、更高效的工作环境以及加拿大工业的整体竞争力。
