Abstract

Occupational health and safety (OHS) represents an important field of exploration for the research community: in spite of the growing of the technological innovations, the raising complexity of systems involves critical issues in terms of degradation of the safety levels.
In such a situation, new safety management approaches (SMA) are now mandatory in order to face the safety implications of the current technological evolutions. Along these lines, performing risk-based analysis alone seems not to be enough anymore. The evaluation of robustness, antifragility and resilience of a socio-technical system is now indispensable in order to face unforeseen events.
The paper will briefly introduce the topics of Safety I and Safety II, Resilience Engineering and Antifragility Engineering explaining correlations, overlapping aspects and synergies. Secondly, it will discuss the applications of those paradigms to a real accident highlighting how they can challenge, stimulate and inspire researches for improving OHS conditions.
