Drowning is considered a global public health problem, and rip currents are responsible for numerous emergencies on beaches worldwide. The literature indicates a significant lack of knowledge and training among the population regarding rip currents a...
Background: Implementing effective interprofessional communication (IPC) in low-resource settings is challenging, primarily due to limited awareness and understanding of the concept. This analysis examined the concept of effective IPC for patient saf...
Background: Mental health is increasingly recognized as an integral component of occupational health and safety, particularly in high-risk industries such as construction. However, in Saudi Arabia, limited attention has been given to understanding me...
This paper presents the development and evaluation of an IoT-enabled smart helmet designed to enhance worker safety and site productivity in high-risk construction environments. The primary objective is to mitigate fall-related and heat-related risks...
Air traffic control is widely recognized as one of the most psychologically demanding occupations, where safety and operational performance are tightly interwoven. This study explores the relationship between occupational health and safety (OHS) syst...
Interest in improving roadside services for long-haul truckers’ health, safety, and well-being has led to an effort to describe the services offered at truck stop/rest areas. This study aimed to describe services offered in truck stop and rest...
The primary goal of our research was to validate a context-specific safety climate measure (the Heavy Vehicle Safety Climate Scale: HVSCS) in a sample of heavy mobile equipment operators (N = 277). An exploratory strategy was adopted, using explorato...
This study investigates the influence of adaptive leadership on crisis management effectiveness in complex construction engineering projects in Saudi Arabia. Adaptive leadership was conceptualized through six core dimensions: Flexibility in Decision-...
This study investigated safety management performance in small- and medium-sized private coal mining enterprises (SMPCMEs) through an integrated application of the 24Model accident causation theory and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQC...
This article discusses the possibilities and methods for rescuing people from abandoned mine workings and the cooperation of the components of the Integrated Rescue System of the Slovak Republic when carrying out rescue work in underground spaces, sp...
Security concerns regarding women in developing nations are frequently highlighted due to the prevalence of harassment incidents, particularly within public transportation systems. In Pakistan, where women make up half of the population, this issue p...
Insulating homes has been shown to provide health benefits, but benefits for home safety have not been studied. The current study analyses hospitalised falls rates, making use of a large New Zealand cohort initially set up to study health benefits. T...
Mechanised agricultural operations are often performed individually, under minimal supervision and across a wide range of unfavourable working conditions, resulting in a complex mixture of hazards and external stressors that severely affect safety co...
The impact of cycling-related traffic crashes on public health has increased significantly in recent decades, with cyclists being among the most vulnerable road users. The risk of severe injury in traffic crashes is notably high for cyclists, especia...
Ship repair is hazardous, often presenting unsuitable working areas and risks due to the ship’s configuration. Welding tasks are particularly dangerous due to the high temperatures generated, high enough to melt the metal in structural elements...
Improving construction site safety remains a critical challenge in Saudi Arabia’s rapidly growing construction sector, where high accident rates and diverse labor forces demand evidence-based managerial interventions. This study investigated th...
In this pilot study, the crossing behavior of elementary school students commuting on bicycles was investigated with the objective of enhancing safety around pedestrian crossings within school zones. With a noticeable increase in crashes involving yo...
Chainsaws are widely used in various occupational settings, including forestry, landscaping, farming, and by homeowners for tasks like tree felling, brush clearing, and firewood cutting. However, the use of chainsaws poses significant risks to operat...
This study analyzes the relationship between ergonomic and psychosocial risk factors and labor productivity using a bibliometric approach through a general analysis and one that includes inclusion criteria such as English language, open access, and p...
The European Union Council’s zero vision aims to eliminate workplace fatalities, while Industry 4.0 presents new challenges for occupational safety. Despite HR professionals assessing managers’ and employees’ competencies, no system...
Introduction: Poorly designed safety job descriptions may have a negative impact on occupational safety and health (OSH) performance. Firstly, they limit the chances of hiring highly qualified safety professionals who are vital to the success of OSH...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between visual functions and road traffic accidents (RTAs) by meta-analysis of observational studies. The analysis included all drivers of motor vehicles, regardless of age, and those using priva...
Air traffic controllers (ATCOs) make a significant contribution to ensuring flight safety, making this profession a highly stressful job globally. Job demands–resources (JDR) theory proposes a health impairment process stemming from job demand...
Pharmaceutical packaging materials play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and efficacy of medications. This mini-review examines the properties of common packaging materials (glass, plastics, metals, and rubber) and their implications for drug sa...
Special police units like Austria’s EKO Cobra are uniquely trained to manage high-risk operations, including terrorism, amok situations, and hostage crises. This study explores how group dynamics contribute to operational safety and resilience,...
As shared micromobility grows quickly in metropolitan settings, e-scooter safety issues have become more urgent. This paper uses a Bayesian hierarchical model applied to census block groups in several Texas metropolitan areas to construct a spatial r...
Background: The Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM) analyses discrepancies between written protocols (Work-as-Imagined) and real-world practice (Work-as-Done) in healthcare. Work-as-Done is created based on multiple stakeholders, leading to v...
Workplace violence (WPV) is a prevailing global concern among healthcare providers (HCPs). Pharmacists may be more vulnerable to WPV than other HCPs due to being the most trusted, approachable, and accessible healthcare workers. However, in Saudi Ara...
Disaster risk reduction (DRR) education is considered increasingly necessary, particularly for children. DRR educational interventions aim to enhance knowledge and attitudes related to self-protective capacity. However, comparative studies on student...
