Design and development of mobile application based on proactive elements of safety culture framework for the oil and gas industry: a conceptual framework

Abstract

Abstract The integration process of the safety programme with technological development must adapt to the present level of the local safety culture in the working industry, which may change over time. Thus, this conceptual framework aims to design, develop, and evaluate a mobile application based on proactive elements of safety culture derived from research theories and factors identified in previous studies in the oil and gas industry. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) will be utilised to review the relevant articles published within the last decade on safety culture in the oil and gas industry. The findings will be analysed using the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) to elucidate the general safety culture elements. The main reference in determining the influencing factors will be the reciprocal safety culture model. The significance of this study is reflected in the integration of utilising technology and effective safety culture components. The findings could be applied to catalyse an organisation’s efforts to improve the safety culture and delivery system.
