Abstract
Occupational safety, health, and ergonomics (OSHE) are strategic pillars of contemporary organizations. In order to provide safer workplace, it is vital to manage the organizational knowledge, so that effective decision making along with absolute compliance to standards can be executed. The critical challenge for OSHE in modern industry is management of existing individual knowledge (experience), structure knowledge, and organizational knowledge in the vast domains of practical applications. This paper firstly investigates the requirements for effective knowledge management (KM) in OSHE, secondly it reviews the present knowledge models and finally proposes a new knowledge model in OSHE. The proposed model is based on a technique called set of experience knowledge structure (SOEKS); it is not only capable of knowledge creation, distribution, elaboration, and consolidation but also possesses features to review and reflect decisions taken in past.
