This paper considers the applicability of situation awareness concepts to safety in the control of complex systems. Much of the research to date has been conducted in aviation, which has obvious safety implications. It is argued that the concepts could be extended to other safety critical domains. The paper presents three theories of situational awareness: the three-level model, the interactive...

A framework for tactical situation awareness is presented and used to compare current technology systems with a prototype system supporting tactical situation awareness. The prototype, which is being developed by Australia’s Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) at Edinburgh in its Experimental Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence Technology Environment (EXC3ITE), inte...

Information security awareness (ISA) is referred to as a state of consciousness and knowledge about security issues and is frequently found to impact security compliant behavior. However, to date we know little about the factors influencing ISA and its mediating effect on behavior. Our study addresses these gaps. We propose a research model that studies ISA’s institutional, individual, and envi...

Following the implementation, there was a normal business need to evaluate and measure the success and effectiveness of the program. A measuring tool that can be applied globally and that addressed AngloGold Ashanti’s unique requ...

Background: Intraoperative awareness is a rare but extremely unfavourable phenomenon affecting 0.1–0.2% of patients who undergo surgery under general anaesthesia. The event exposes patients to stress and its remote, severe outcomes. The aim of the present study was to determine the incidence of intraoperative awareness in patients undergoing general anaesthesia. Methods: The observational quest...
