Background: Vulnerable road users (VRUs), including children and older adults, face a high risk of fatal road traffic accidents (RTAs) due to limited protection and greater injury susceptibility. Romania reports some of the highest child and elderly...
Prolonged visual display terminal (VDT) work leads to static muscular loading, increasing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. Active chairs have been proposed to alleviate such issues; however, solutions like balance balls often induce discomfort...
This study presents a comprehensive statewide analysis of pedestrian-involved crashes recorded in Tennessee between 2002 and 2025. We evaluated the influence of roadway, traffic, environmental, and socioeconomic factors on pedestrian crash frequency...
The ergonomic risks associated with posture in conventional office workstations have been extensively studied, but there is limited research available on these risks in the context of home-based work environments. Most available studies rely solely o...
Road traffic crashes are a major global challenge, resulting in significant loss of life, economic burden, and societal impact. This study seeks to enhance the precision of traffic accident prediction using advanced machine learning techniques. This...
Intrusion detection systems (IDSs) must operate under severe class imbalance, evolving attack behavior, and the need for calibrated decisions that integrate smoothly with security operations. We propose a human-in-the-loop IDS that combines a convolu...
Fatal and serious injury rates remain unacceptably high in the construction industry. Leadership plays a critical role in safety management and serious and fatal injury prevention. However, limited research has examined industry practitioners’...
Construction work is fundamentally hazardous. Traditional risk assessment tools (e.g., checklists and audits) are static in essence and hard to make evolve. In this paper, we demonstrate how to get experts dynamically in the loop thanks to machine le...
Intersections represent critical crash locations on road networks necessitating targeted safety interventions. This study employs a random parameters ordered logit (RPOL) model with heterogeneity in means to analyze injury severity contributing facto...
Although women have participated in mining activities across the world for centuries, the industry continues to be perceived as predominantly male-oriented. This perception persists largely due to the male-dominated workforce and the physically deman...
One of the biggest risks to safety on offshore platform safety is the ignition of high-pressure natural gas streams. Currently, the size and number of fugitive emissions on offshore platforms is unknown and methods used to detect fugitives have signi...
Employers in South Africa are mandated by labour laws to implement systems of work for the maintenance and promotion of health and safety at work. In response, companies have adopted and implemented occupational health and safety management systems (...
Professional football players face considerable occupational hazards, with injuries posing serious challenges to player safety, club performance, and regulatory oversight. This descriptive study examines the multifaceted implications of Portugal&rsqu...
Whilst subtractive manufacturing has been de-risked significantly over recent decades, the emergence of new unfamiliar materials is proving to be a significant challenge for social sustainability. Given this rapidly evolving landscape, this review se...
This comprehensive review examines the transformative role of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) in advancing battery separator technology to address critical safety challenges in rechargeable lithium metal batteries. MOF-based separators leverage...
General aviation (GA), comprised mainly of piston engine airplanes, has an inferior safety history compared with air carriers in the United States. Most studies addressing this safety disparity has focused on pilot deficiencies. Herein, we determined...
Previous conceptualizations of safety voice have described this construct as fundamentally unidimensional, compared to several other multidimensional models that have been outlined for the more general concept of employee voice. Drawing from previous...
Many Japanese special needs schools have adopted the School Management Council (SMC), involving residents and other stakeholders in school management. However, its influence on disaster preparedness remains unclear. We used a cross-sectional design t...
Road traffic accidents are a major global public health concern, ranking among the top three causes of death worldwide and constituting the leading cause of death among individuals aged 15–29. Monitoring traffic safety status and trends is a vi...
This paper presents a comparative analysis of pedestrian behavior and perceived safety among university students at two signalized intersections near the campus premises of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. Although both intersections...
Prolonged sitting (PS) in the workplace has been linked to a higher risk of developing non-communicable chronic diseases. Simultaneously, an elevated waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) is considered a reliable measure of increased risk for the same conditi...
Electronics manufacturing workers engaged in material handling are susceptible to occupational back pain. This cross-sectional study aimed to develop a semi-quantitative risk assessment matrix and evaluate ergonomic risk factors contributing to back...
Occupational health and safety (OHS) is essential for protecting the life, health, and physical integrity of workers. In a complex and dynamic professional context, the prevention of occupational risks has become a priority for employers and decision...
Accident investigations in high-risk industries frequently focus on attributing unsafe acts to individual operators, often neglecting the organizational conditions that shape such behaviors. This study adopts an exploratory perspective to examine how...
Industrial safety in high-risk sectors such as mining, construction, oil and gas, petrochemicals, and offshore fishing remains a strategic global challenge due to the high incidence of occupational accidents and their human, financial, and legal cons...
Semantic technologies based on ontologies and knowledge graphs are increasingly recognized for their potential to enhance safety, risk, and emergency management in railway systems. This paper presents a systematic literature review aimed at identifyi...
Previous research has repeatedly demonstrated the importance of both safety culture and leadership in promoting workplace safety. Several studies and reviews have identified transformational leadership style as an important contributor to a strong sa...
The power and electricity (P & E) sector experiences a substantial number of occupational accidents, including in Nigeria. The implementation of a safety management system (SMS) to promote safety performance and mitigate occupational risks in thi...
People with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) face significant barriers to accessing and maintaining employment, many of which stem from work environments that fail to accommodate their neurological diversity. This article aims to analyze the occupation...
The coal mining sector in Indonesia faces a high level of risk of disasters; however, to date, there is no specific evaluation framework to measure Emergency Management Capability. This research aims to develop a conceptual model of EMC that applies...
Professional certification of engineers plays a crucial role in verifying competencies and ensuring the safety and quality of engineering outputs. However, most existing certification systems assign fixed validity periods (e.g., 3–5 years) with...
This paper investigates the effectiveness and limitations of the traditional Fine-Kinney method for occupational risk assessment, emphasizing its shortcomings in addressing complex and dynamic work environments. To overcome these challenges, two adva...
Road traffic fatalities in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are continuing to rise, posing significant socio-economic and public health challenges. To prevent these road deaths and avoid the corresponding costs, the World Health Organization...
