Abstract: (234 Views)
Background and aims: The "Vision Zero" strategy, which seeks to create a sustainable safety culture in organizations, has been proposed as an important strategy for preventing accidents and continuously improving the safety and health situation. For this reason, this study was conducted with the aim of evaluating proactive leading indicators based on this strategy in Iranian petrochemical industries.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 16 petrochemical companies. Sampling and selection of experts were done in a targeted manner and based on experience and expertise in the field of occupational health and safety, and companies were evaluated and ranked based on ISSA indicators in order to provide solutions to improve the safety situation.
Results: The results of this study showed that none of the petrochemical companies have reached the optimal situation in all three aspects of safety, health and well-being, and only P15 company has performed better in most indicators, but there is a need for improvement in the competent leadership index in all companies.
Conclusion: The establishment of OHSMS covers only a part of the goal of Vision Zero strategy, and it is necessary to pay attention to competent leadership and visible leadership commitment for success. Many petrochemical companies, especially in the field of well-being, have not yet reached the optimal situation and need to be improved. SHW leaders should actively participate in the improvement processes and development of prevention culture and promote SHW standards in the organization.
