Safety cases & safety assessments
4th IET International Conference on Systems Safety 2009. Incorporating the SaRS Annual Conference, 2009Co-Authors: Duane KritzingerAbstract:When a system (e.g. an aircraft) is delivered and in its pristine condition, it has an initial level of safety often justified by the designer's "System Safety Assessment", which is often archived after certification. However, safety is not self-sustaining [SAE ARP 5150] it depends on numerous factors, including the original design; manufacturing; operating crew and maintenance actions; operational and environmental effects; quality of spare parts; modifications; configuration control; etc. Once released into service, the system is continually evolving and changing and should do so under the control of the operator's live "Safety Case". Within the aviation context Duane Kritzinger explores the relationship between the Safety Assessment and the Safety Case. (61 pages)

Understanding compliance behaviour in an organisational culture context.
University of Stavanger Norway, 2019Co-Authors: Kaspersen StigAbstract:Executive Master’s thesis in Business AdministrationOrganizational culture and compliance are inextricably linked. Through review of literature relating to organisational culture, procedure compliance, management and safety performance the author explores the relationship between a supportive organisational culture, end-user involvement, and procedure compliant leadership towards procedurally compliant intentions and development of a procedurally compliant culture. The relationship is tested by development of six hypothesis relating to the research problem. Each hypothesis is tested individually, and the combined effect from the variables towards compliance culture is tested. The quantitative method selected is by use of self-reporting from 149 employees of a northern Europe temporary power and temperature operations organisation. The questionnaire and research model are adapted from Amankwa, Loock, and Kritzinger (2018) studying compliance toward IT policies. The findings from this thesis strengthens the idea that noncompliant behaviour is not entirely based on personal traits or characters, but are influenced by the work environment. More specifically the findings supports that there is a correlation between the three variables; supportive organisational culture, end-user involvement, and compliance leadership in the direction of attitude toward compliance and compliance behavioural intentions. Furthermore, the study supports that there is a strong relationship between the two variables; behavioural intentions and attitude towards compliance in the direction of development of a compliance culture. 39% of change in the compliance culture variable can be explained by the model used in this thesis. The author also finds that safety-related research regarding safety compliance, safety performance, and safety culture can be used to understand and clarify general procedurally compliant culture and compliance practises. The thesis also includes suggestions for further research

The beautiful birdsong of Tshwane : preliminary reflections on the beginnings of the Uniting Reformed Church of Southern Africa (URCSA) congregation Melodi ya Tshwane
2010Co-Authors: Willem SaaymanAbstract:The author recounts the history and reflects on the founding of the URCSA congregation Melodi ya Tshwane in the central business district of the Tshwane metropole. The history of this unique congregation has not yet been written. The congregation grew out of joint services of the various black Dutch Reformed Churches in Pretoria in the 1980s. It was the first black Dutch Reformed congregation constituted in “white” Pretoria. Prof Nico Smith, Dutch Reformed Church in Africa (DRCA) pastor in Mamelodi, and Prof JNJ Kritzinger of Unisa played a very important role in the constitution of this congregation, which today forms the centre of various religious and social ministries, as well as URCSA theological education, in central Pretoria.

Variables associated with Grade R English Additional Language acquisition in multilingual rural Mpumalanga schools
South African Journal of Education, 2016Co-Authors: P Moodley, A Kritzinger, B VinckAbstract:In a previous study Moodley, Kritzinger and Vinck (2014) found that formal English Additional Language (EAL) instruction contributed significantly better to listening and speaking skills in Grade R learners, than did a play-based approach. The finding in multilingual rural Mpumalanga schools was in agreement with numerous studies elsewhere. Additional extraneous variables such as teachers’ first language, qualifications, age and experience, and learners’ first language and gender may also relate to EAL performance. The aim of the present study has been to determine whether these variables were significantly associated with learners’ EAL performance scores. A matched two group comparison study was conducted, utilising 175 learners and 10 teachers from isiNdebele, isiZulu, Sepedi, siSwati and Xitsonga first language backgrounds. The English Language Proficiency standards assessment tool was used. Learners of IsiNdebele teachers and young qualified teachers performed better than other learners. Learners with isiNdebele as first language performed better than learners from other languages. No association between gender and learner performance was found. The advantage of isiNdebele speaking teachers and learners in EAL teaching and learning may relate to the many borrowed phonemes and words from English. Further research is required to strengthen the evidence.
