Targeting the analysis of socio-technical complexity, the System-Theoretic Accident Model
and Processes (STAMP) was developed to engineer safer systems. Since its inception in the …

In the aftermath of cybersecurity incidents within organizations, explanations of their causes
often revolve around isolated technical or human events such as an Advanced Persistent …

Recently, there has been a discussion in the safety science community concerning the
validity of basic approaches to safety, referred to as Safety I, Safety II and Safety III, with Erik …

The risks involved in ship pilotage operations are characterized by random, uncertain and
complex features. To reveal the spatiotemporal evolution of ship collision risks in the …

Patient safety is typically assessed by the frequency of adverse events or incidents, which
means we seek to determine safety by its absence rather than its presence. 1 The Safety-II …

Collaborative human–machine interaction will be progressively intensified in industrial
applications. The aim of this article is to examine current approaches to cobot safety by …

Modern work domains are constituted by an intertwined set of social and technical actors
with different, often conflicting, functional purposes. These agents act jointly to ensure …

Abstract Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) are increasingly more complex and integrated into
