Abstract:

To enhance the safety governance level of special equipment, based on the governance paradigm of socio-ecological resilience, and through literature review, pattern construction, structural analysis, and conceptual elaboration, the safety resilience governance mode of the whole life cycle of special equipment was explored. Firstly, the safety governance mode based on the whole life cycle and the safety governance mode based on system resilience were established and analyzed, and the resilience-led special equipment safety governance mode (RL-SES-GM) was constructed. Secondly, direct element system of SES-personnel equipment management (SES-PEM) and indirect element system of SES-mitigating recovery learning coping (SES-MRLC) were established, and the structure of these systems was analyzed. Based on this, the risks from the perspective of system resilience throughout the whole life cycle were defined. Finally, a two-dimensional governance paradigm structure of "safety soft science + hardware equipment", a triple pre-control mechanism structure of "risk grading control + hidden danger investigation and management + safety resilience", and a two-dimensional technology structure driven by "data + knowledge" were constructed. The results show that the established two-dimensional governance paradigm structure, the triple pre-control mechanism structure, and the two-dimensional technical structure in this paper provide a paradigmatic support for the formulation and optimization of risk prevention and control policies. SES-PEM and SES-MRLC of safety & security governance lay the foundation for quantitative research and decision-making efficiency in safety & security governance. The whole life cycle RL-SES-GM effectively drive the paradigm transformation of special equipment safety governance. The governance mode under the coupling mechanism of whole life cycle and system resilience should targetedly improve the "mitigating ability, recovery ability, learning ability, and coping ability" in different periods.
