Sociotechnical approaches to workplace safety: Research needs and opportunities
2015
Ergonomics
In this paper, we summarise the investigations of a group of international researchers into questions associated with the application of sociotechnical systems thinking to improve worker safety. ...
While formal sociotechnical systems thinking originated in the 1950s, its application to the analysis and design of sustainable, safe working environments has not been fully developed. ...
Acknowledgements The authors wish to express their appreciation to Margaret Rothwell for her expert assistance in the preparation and production of this manuscript. ...

Integrating Social Justice and Political Engagement into Engineering
2020
International Journal of Engineering Social Justice and Peace
We link these examples to Cech's three pillars of the "culture of disengagement" in engineering: social/technical dualisms, meritocracy, and depoliticization. ...
We provide several examples of how "social" aspects have been brought into engineering in a depoliticized manner that limits engagement with political and social justice goals. ...
Integrating considerations of social justice addresses the ideology of individual meritocracy by focusing on how social conditions are shaped by complex systems of privilege and oppression, rather than ...

Editorial: emerging issues in sociotechnical systems thinking and workplace safety
2015
Ergonomics
Over the course of several months prior to the conference, leading international experts drafted collaborative, state-of-the-art reviews covering various aspects of sociotechnical systems and safety. ...
In response, the Hopkinton Conference on Sociotechnical Systems and Safety was organised to assess the current state of knowledge in the area and to identify research priorities. ...
However, accidents within complex sociotechnical systems are more often a function of unforeseen or poorly understood interactions between system components. ...

Advancing a sociotechnical systems approach to workplace safety – developing the conceptual framework
2015
Ergonomics
From the literature on sociotechnical systems, complex systems and safety, we develop a sociotechnical model of workplace safety with concentric layers of the work system, socio-organisational context ...
Here, we advocate a sociotechnical systems approach that describes the complex multi-level system factors that contribute to workplace safety. ...
