The analysis of existing regulations, along with two major incidents, suggested that psychological safety is beneficial in preventing major incidents and enhancing safety performance. The study indicated that the current safety regulations did not sufficiently address the issue of psychological safety and could be further improved to enhance enforcement and provide guidance for industry leaders on how to develop, sustain, and measure it in the workplace. A high-level model for fostering psychological safety in the workplace was developed for leaders in this industry to start developing and integrating psychological safety into existing safety framework.
