Learning and Social Impact and its Relation to Safety at the Local Level: Managing an Environmental Emergency

Summary/Abstract: The article proposes: the concept of safety learning in the context of the social impact of a dominant entity on network participants, the safety learning scheme using Donna Wood’s model in which the social impact of the subject refers, among other things, to environmental protection (with the use of reporting) as well as to the creation of social programmes and policies, and the notion of impact potential of a dominant entity. Organisational learning and the social impact of the organisation were analysed on the basis of the example of the Warsaw Czajka Wastewater Treatment Plant breakdown and the actions taken by the management. The roles of local factors, such as embeddeness and social capital in network learning in emergency situations, were indicated. A significant exogenous factor was identified as the impact of legislation on emergency situations. The paper aims to show the role of learning both intra- and interorganisationally in reducing negative impact on the environment in the event of emergencies.
