AB Resilience Engineering is a paradigm that attempts to focus on learning from what works well rather than fromfailures. There have been few studies focusing on the quantitative evaluation of Resilience Engineering and nonehave been conducted for the Municipal Solid Waste sector. Composite indicators are a useful analytical tool formaking decisions involving complex, multi-dimensional social phenomena, and we have used this approach todesign a model to assess the level of implementation of Resilience Engineering in Municipal Solid Waste companies.Designed as a Composite Leading Indicator, based on the model created by Wreathall and Shirali et al., itsweighting was defined by 22 Spanish and Italian Delphi experts. The results show a high level of consensus. Withregard to the principle Top Management Commitment, a high value was assigned to raising awareness over theneed to halt production when there is a safety risk. In connection with Culture of Learning, the experts emphasisedthe importance of establishing mechanisms to clearly define the person responsible for safety in each ofthe activities carried out in the company. In the area of Flexibility, they agreed on the importance of convincingworkers that if they encounter a problem, the criterion to follow is to sacrifice production rather than safety tomaintain the system.

NO This research forms part of the CICE SAFERA Eranet 2013 project“Design and development of a simulation tool for decision making inthe management of health and safety based on resilience engineering topromote a safety culture change process in MSW treatment companies(Asses-Re-Tool)”. This work was funded by the Government ofAndalusia, awarded by the Department of Economy, Innovation andScience through the Agency of Innovation and Development ofAndalusia and by Italian Workers’ Compensation Authority (INAIL). Wewould like to thank Professor Saeed Shirali at the Ahvez JundishapurUniversity, the Spanish and Italian experts who took part in the Delphistudy, LIMASA, which facilitated our participation in the project, andUniversita Degli Studi Federico II di Napoli. We would also like to expressour gratitude for the field work carried out by Pedro Fenoy Illacerin Spain and by Nicola Forcelli in Italy. Finally, it is also necessary tothank the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport of the Governmentof Spain for its support through the “Programa de Formación delProfesorado Universitario" (FPU 16/03298).
