Sustainable Safety Management: A Safety Competencies Systematic Literature Review

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

 

 

The article is prepared on a very relevant topic. The title of manuscript needs to be changed to better reflect the content of the article. The summary provides a lot of atypical information. This is not acceptable. The summary should emphasize the novelty of the study and the results obtained. Too little literature review. After studying only two journals according to the keywords, I found more than one hundred relevant articles (Journal „Sustainability“ - 90, „Journal of Civil Engineering and Management“ - 12.) It is not acceptable to cite a dozen literature sources in one sentence. The article does not show the relation with the „sustainability“ topic. Some literature sources are not fully described. Research results and their usefulness is not sufficiently emphasissed in the manuscript.

Reviewer 2 Report

The dissemination of new/useful findings in safety competencies research should be considered the hot point in ensuring the effectiveness of one´s job, role, and functioning in occupation safety and health- Notwithstanding; there two main problems for me. The Abstract doesn´t show sufficient importance of this topic and puts a lot of attention on the Materials and Methods description (an unconventional approach for the Abstract). Therefore, two possible changes can be made. Gaining access to future trends of this vital topic, propose a controlled hierarchical environment and individual competencies, as the drive to control the Sustainability of actual Industries/Societies´ healthy relationships. The urgent need to change the Paradigm of Sustainability is widely renowned (see, for instance, the Series of Springer´s Special Issues).  The poorly designed programs for measuring/interpreting social sustainability indicators are the leading causes of the failure of substantial international development projects. It is the time to explain and highlite in the Abstract the following possible points: 1. The well-done unbiased, broad Review derives a new, viable alternative to a social sustainability indicator. One of the leading and sound conclusions of the present manuscript is that the number of studies on safety competencies research has increased in recent years; 2. It is evident the urgency to design or select the reference techniques for the safety competencies hierarchical geospace/time analyses during and after the catastrophic events. The gap in the solid design of reference protection policies and safety competencies for the people during their return to activities after the COVID-19 o each other pandemic is more than dangerous. Not any additional references are needed to accomplish these tasks. But, due to the quality and volume of reviewed material, it is the perfect time to put this topic on the discussion table. From another point of view, let me call your attention to the detailed Methods description in the Abstract, which seems inappropriate and should be excluded. In the Discussion, it is better to change 4.1 and 4.2 parts order. It seems logical to define something and only after this describe its patterns.
