This paper describes safety management systems (SMSs) on five core aspects: definition,
evolution, models, purpose and common elements of SMSs. A safety management system …

Targeting the analysis of socio-technical complexity, the System-Theoretic Accident Model
and Processes (STAMP) was developed to engineer safer systems. Since its inception in the …

Abstract Systems models are the mainstream paradigm of accident models. STAMP is one of
the most popular systems models, which has been applied in most industries. Therefore, the …
