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了风险信息的方法来设计，构建和操作设施。但是，很少有工程师在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）方面具有全面的专业知识。 2015年，在加拿大，有756,000多名伤害索赔，232,000人失去了工作，而职业伤害和疾病造成了852人死亡。此类事件还导致环境损失和巨大的业务损失。工程师未能预见并防止这些事件。尽管如此，我们的道德准则指出，保护公众至关重要。即使在高度可见，高度改变事件之后，由于强调生产而不是安全性，基于合规性的安全计划和面向责备的文化，公司也无法解决根本原因。这些失败并不令人惊讶；但是，随着安全管理系统（SMS）倾向于忽略：i）生产与安全需求，ii）能力和由不同管理系统促进的能力和组织文化的整合；和/或iii）作为外包风险的手段。我的研究计划的目的是通过纳入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的贡献：>首先，我将确定，操作和建模一组扩展的SMS元素之间的关系，用于工程公司使用的关键绩效指标。 >第三，我将研究该模型对各个行业（例如采矿与精炼）中组织间项目（所有者最佳承包商分包商）的适用性，以检查能力吗？ 例如炼油厂对过程安全管理技术的使用？ 可以将其传达给其他项目/运营伙伴，例如Tailings。因此，可以评估不同实践和过程处方的相对有效性，以使业务案例“实施”。这项研究将用于促进更安全，更有生产力的工作环境以及加拿大行业的整体竞争力。
