Cilj istraživanja bio je utvrditi značenje i sadržaja koje je pojavljivanje bolesti COVID-19 imalo na području znanosti o sigurnosti u razdoblju od 2020. do 2022. Metodom Prizma autori su analizirali 3.992 članka objavljena u časopisima Safety Science, Accident Analysis & Prevention, Journal of Safety Research, Safety and Health at Work, International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion, Sigurnost te Delo in varnost. Utvrdili su da ta tematika nije privukla veliku pozornost jer ju je obrađivalo nešto više od 1 % autora iz 26 država svijeta. Tematika bolesti COVID-19 u najvećem broju slučajeva bila je obrađivana iz aspekta psihosocijalnih stresora radnoga okruženja (8 istraživanja), organizacijskih mjera za sprečavanje zaraze (4 istraživanja), osobne zaštitne opreme (4 istraživanja) i drugoga, kao što su složenost, sustavni pristup i analiza rizika (3 teorijska članka). Nitko od autora u sigurnosnoj struci „utemeljenoj na dokazima” nije prepoznao moguće opasnosti koje bi proizlazile iz ključnih pokazatelja poput čestoće i ozbiljnosti ozljeda te zdravstvenih problema u organizacijama. Rezultati istraživanja donose korisne informacije za razvoj znanosti o sigurnosti i struke te pružaju mogućnosti za daljnje istraživanje. The principal goal of the research was to determine the meaning and substantive emphasis that the appearance of the COVID-19 had in the field of safety science in the chronological period from 2020 to 2022. Using the Prisma method, we analyzed 3,992 articles published in the journals Safety Science, Accident Analysis & Prevention, Journal of Safety Research, Safety, and Health at Work, International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion, Safety and Work, and Safety. We found that this topic did not attract much attention because it was covered by a little more than 1% of authors from 26 countries of the world. In most cases, the topic of the disease COVID-19 was analyzed in accordance with the aspects of psychosocial stressors of the work environment (8 studies), organizational measures to prevent infection (4 studies), personal protective equipment (4 studies), and other factors, such as complexity, systematic approach, and risk analysis (3 theoretical articles). None of the authors in the "evidence-based" safety profession has so far recognized any of the possible dangerous situations that could arise from key indicators such as the frequency and severity of injuries and health issues in organizations. The results of the research provide convenient information for the development of safety science and the profession and moreover provide opportunities for further research.
