Abstract
Nuclear power plant construction projects are challenging
for safety management due to many of their
inherent characteristics, which include high levels of
organizational turbulence, changes in lifecycle phases,
unanticipated events, interactions between multiple
parties and the challenges of multicultural environment.
This means that traditional approaches to improving
safety might not be sufficient. To address this issue, we
will view safety management from the perspective of
Resilience Engineering and complexity thinking and
propose a novel perspective to the practical development
of safety culture in dynamic environments. We
describe a revised model of adaptive safety management
and use four well-known safety culture improvement
methods as illustrative examples of how they can be
utilized in building an adaptive safety culture.
