A cross-sectional study of safety climate and safety performance was performed in Ethiopian construction sites, among 1203 workers from 22 large-scale construction sites. The Nordic Safety Climate Questionnaire was administered using interviews. We d...

The development of liquid hydrogen storage systems is a key aspect to enable future clean air transportation. However, safety analysis research for such systems is still limited and is hindered by the limited experience with liquid hydrogen storage i...

(1) Background: The safe execution of heavy machinery operations and high-risk construction tasks requires operators to manage multiple tasks, with a constant awareness of coworkers and hazards. With high demands on visual and auditory resources, vib...

Design standards for manual handling equipment tend to measure maximal loads and moving forces using a smooth, flat, horizontal steel plate; yet, in everyday use, such equipment is used on floor coverings. Such test methods therefore overestimate the...

Nuclear power plants increasingly utilize digitalized systems, including computer-based procedures (CBPs) and automation. These novel technologies require human factors’ evaluation to ensure safety. Potentially, automation contributes to safety...

The safety of robotics and automation technologies is a significant concern for stakeholders in Industry 5.0. Ensuring cost-effectiveness and inherent safety requires applying the defense-in-depth principle. This paper introduces a novel risk-informe...

Safety culture is crucial for organisations aiming to enhance safety performance and is challenging in traditional sectors. This study explored the effects of a new near-miss management system (NMS) on safety culture in traditional manufacturing comp...

Clinicians who do not specialize in driving have a need for simple assessment tools for both the aging population and new drivers. While many researchers focus on complex driving scenarios presented on simulators or on-road driving, this exploratory...

This systematic literature review aims to identify and discuss specific cargo loss risks in road transportation. The research also examines their impacts, challenges, and mitigation strategies. By synthesizing insights from 24 studies using a systema...

Investigations of aviation accidents are based on provisions of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Annex 13 agreement. A safety recommendation may be addressed to international aviation organizations, such as the European Aviation S...

This work presents a structured methodology for multi-hazard risk assessment in post-mining coal areas, addressing the complex interactions between natural, mining, and technological hazards. The methodology provides a flexible, semi-quantitative mix...

Dump truck safety recommendations have been implemented by companies, but a comprehensive study of risk factors associated with dump truck injuries and fatalities has not been performed. Published research specifically focusing on dump truck injuries...

This retrospective observational study examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on occupational accident rates by analyzing over 500,000 Emergency Department (ED) visits from 2014 to 2022 in a Northern Italian city. Work-related injuries comprise...

The traditional approach to curating and disseminating information about agricultural injuries relies heavily on manual input and review, resulting in a labor-intensive process. While the unstructured nature of the material traditionally requires hum...

There is an increasing trend to develop innovative information technologies that empower industrial companies and tool suppliers to pioneer new production methods and technologies. This study aims to support innovation in industrial practices by usin...

In January 2020, the WHO declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, underscoring the importance of safeguarding measures and mental health support for medical professionals due to its serious impact and widespread reach. This study aimed to assess knowledg...

This systematic review examines caught-in/between accidents in construction, revealing complex safety challenges involving machinery errors, vehicle incidents, loading mistakes, and structural collapses. The analysis highlights significant risks, inc...

Carbon fibre-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are a lightweight alternative solution for various applications due to their mechanical and structural properties. However, debonding at the fibre–matrix interface is an important failure mechanism in co...

Marine nuclear power plants (MNPPs) represent items of forward-looking high-end engineering equipment combining nuclear power and ocean engineering, with unique advantages and broad application prospects. When a nuclear accident occurs, it causes con...

The number of women choosing agriculture as an occupation is increasing. Agriculture is dangerous work, and women are at risk of serious injury, but the research on injuries in females is sparse. Women perform different types of farmwork and have dif...

This study examined the challenges of the predominantly male, aging workforce in South Korea′s tire manufacturing industry, focusing on physical demands, job stress, and burnout. The present study surveyed 400 workers employed on the production...

This paper presents a practical approach to classifying aviation safety reports in an operational context. The goals of the research are as follows: (a) successfully demonstrate a replicable, practical methodology leveraging Natural Language Processi...

In recent years, we have witnessed an increase in emergency and catastrophic events. It is now crucial for professionals involved in emergency management to stay updated on issues and statistics related to decision-making in emergency situations. Eme...

Theoretical background: Occupational safety training is crucial for reducing workplace risks, but traditional approaches often struggle to fully engage participants or guarantee effective knowledge retention. Over the past decade, interest in using t...
