Ship collision accidents remain a critical concern in maritime safety because of their potential to cause operational disruption as well as environmental and economic damage in areas with dense shipping activity. Complex traffic interactions, differe...
Aviation safety depends critically on pilots’ mental and cognitive states, particularly in high-stakes and complex operational environments where human errors cause most safety events today. This paper reviews current advances in real-time moni...
A cross-sectional correlational research design was used to investigate the relationship between organizational safety climate, supervisor safety climate, compliance, safety citizenship behaviors and safety self-efficacy. A sample of 728 workers loca...
Powder bed fusion (PBF) and directed energy deposition (DED) additive manufacturing use feedstock powders that contain metals associated with skin diseases. We performed a survey of surface contamination and limited task-based dermal exposure assessm...
Swimming and water safety education can reduce drowning risk, yet research among the Turkish population is limited. This study examined differences in water safety attitude and knowledge scores by self-reported participation in swimming and lifeguard...
Introduction: Hospital adverse events are a global patient safety problem that account for avoidable death, long-term disability, extended length of stay, and increased healthcare costs. Underreporting, wherein fewer than 10% of events are indeed rec...
Animal-vehicle collisions (AVCs) are an increasing concern globally, yet domesticated animals, particularly dogs, remain understudied. We investigated spatial and temporal patterns of dog-vehicle collisions (DVCs) in Lithuania. Landscape variables su...
Effective incident management is a cornerstone of transportation system performance, influencing roadway clearance times (RCTs) and the risk of secondary crashes. This study investigated how towing regulations involving large commercial vehicle crash...
Low-level flight or maneuvering defines a flight phase that is particularly common and, in some cases, central to helicopter operations, but brings several safety concerns. At low altitude, helicopters are more susceptible to collisions with objects,...
The high number of deaths and serious injuries in traffic crashes can be considered a silent global epidemic, as it is still understood by part of society as an inherent consequence of road traffic. There are several risk factors that can increase th...
Mini-roundabouts are increasingly implemented as compact, low-cost alternatives to conventional roundabouts and signalized intersections, especially at low-speed, space-constrained urban locations where safety is a concern. Their design emphasizes sp...
Societal expectations for serious breaches of health and safety legislation that lead to loss of life have changed. The Australian harmonized work health and safety legislation has introduced industrial manslaughter to many jurisdictions across Austr...
Working conditions in the offshore oil and gas industry can expose workers to fatigue and sleep deprivation due to extended working hours, irregular shift schedules, and highly complex operational environments. This study aimed to conduct a systemati...
In emergency decision-making for carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) CO2 pipeline leakage, risk levels and warning distances/impact ranges are often derived from different methodological systems—risk-matrix scoring versus mechanisti...
The transport of dangerous goods (TDG) produces serious risks, particularly in urban areas, due to the high presence of people and sensitive infrastructures from a social, environmental and economic point of view. Transport Risk Assessment combines o...
Agriculture remains one of the most hazardous industries in Australia, with consistently high rates of workplace injury and fatality. Traditional approaches to monitoring safety performance in agriculture have largely relied on reactive lag indicator...
This study presents a site-specific calibration of the ratio between S-wave and P-wave peak ground acceleration (PGA) for use in low-cost, on-site earthquake early warning (EEWS) systems in Iași, Romania. A dataset of 25 intermediate-depth Vranc...
Passive arm support exoskeletons (ASEs) have attracted interest with the prospect of reducing shoulder musculoskeletal injuries. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of passive ASEs on electrical activation of shoulder and torso muscl...
This study aims to investigate how an organization’s purpose (raison d’être) dictates first responder resilience-building. While existing studies often treat first responders as a homogeneous group, this research argues that signifi...
Existing research on driving under the influence (DUI) crashes predominantly employs independent modeling frameworks that overlook the interdependency between injury outcomes of impaired and sober drivers, potentially leading to biased parameter esti...
Aviation maintenance is a high-risk work environment in which worker safety and operational safety must be managed simultaneously. This study develops and validates a dual-domain safety culture framework for aviation maintenance technicians (AMTs) em...
Crowd mass disasters occur over a relatively short time, and rescue operations in disasters, such as earthquakes, are challenging because of people’s behavior, type, or location. Therefore, it is essential to devise means and methods to manage...
Emergency situations can cause sudden food shortages, which emphasize the need for preventive measures to ensure food security. The aim of this study was to determine the Slovenian population’s awareness of the official national recommendation...
Citrus production in Mexico relies predominantly on manual labor and traditional harvesting tools, which are often associated with physical overload, awkward postures, and reduced productivity. This study presents an exploratory, perception-based fie...
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are leading causes of disability and productivity loss globally, yet registry-based evidence from low- and middle-income countries remains limited. The study analyzed compensated work-related MSDs claims...
Background: Antineoplastic drugs are essential in the treatment of cancer; however, they are classified as hazardous due to their genotoxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic properties. Healthcare professionals are at risk of exposure primarily through su...
Cannabis is the most-used psychoactive drug in Aotearoa—New Zealand (NZ); recreational use remains illegal, while medicinal use was legalized in 2020. Cannabis use is associated with increased risk of injury; however, there is little known on t...
