Abstract

Abstract: For improving the safety performance of the first line operators, 7 resilience dimensions related to work safety in enterprise, including basic resilience factors and behavioral resilience factors, were identified based on the resilience engineering concept,and a model was built for influences of the resilience dimensions on the performance. According to the investigation results from a state owned chemical industrial enterprise, a multiple mediation SEM based approach and a product distribution algorithm were applied to analyze the effective paths,along which the dimensions affect the performance. Study shows that the behavioral resilience factors of employee have a direct impact on safety performance,that the four basic resilience factors have different degrees of positive indirect influence on operators'safety performance, mediated by diversities influence mechanisms of behavioral resilience factors of employee,and that monitoring and preparedness are the most influencial dimension in the basic resilience factors and the behavioral resilience factors respectively.

Key words: operators, safety management, resilience engineeringconcept, structural equation modeling(SEM), multiple mediation effect
