Safety culture is crucial for organisations aiming to enhance safety performance and challenging in traditional sectors. This study explored the effects of a new near-miss management system (NMS) on manufacturing companies. The data collection followed mixed-methods design: quantitative were collected through pre- post-implementation surveys, qualitative derived from focus group discussions (FGDs) developed year after NMS implementation two footwear After that period, it possible infer led...
Physical fatigue is a serious threat to the health and safety of firefighters. Its effects include decreased cognitive abilities heightened risk accidents. Subjective scales and, recently, on-body sensors have been used monitor physical among firefighters safety-sensitive professionals. Considering capabilities (e.g., noninvasiveness continuous monitoring) limitations assessed fatiguing tasks models validation procedures) current approaches, this study aimed develop prediction model...
Physical fatigue reduces productivity and quality of work while increasing the risk injuries accidents among safety-sensitive professionals. To prevent its adverse effects, researchers are developing automated assessment methods that, despite being highly accurate, require a comprehensive understanding underlying mechanisms variables’ contributions to determine their real-life applicability. This aims evaluate performance variations previously developed four-level physical model when...
The traditional approach adopted towards road safety is the analysis of risk factors that contribute to frequency or severity traffic crashes. Many distinct elements play a role, simultaneously, in crash occurrence, and, undoubtedly, geometric design highways and its effect on human behavior are part equation. A valuable tool investigate this interaction driving simulator. Nevertheless, experiment design, participants’ features, data acquisition detrimental for effective use tool. This...
The accurate prediction of energy requirements for healthy individuals has many useful applications. occupational perspective also been proven to be great utility improving workers’ ergonomics, safety, and health. This work proposes a statistical regression model based on actigraphy personal characteristics estimate expenditure cross-validate the results with reference standardized methods. was developed by hierarchical mixed-effects modeling multitask protocol data. Measurements combined...
Fatigue in humans is a state that reduces activity, ability to perform, or cognitive functions due internal sensations such as tiredness, drowsiness, sleepiness, and burnout. It directly influenced by mentally demanding stressful tasks indirectly physical activities reduce alertness, mental focus, motivation, other psychological factors. While fatigue has been studied extensively various settings transport emergency responders environments like hospitals, clear unified database of equipment...
Various jobs, indoors and outdoors, are subjected to severe cold temperatures during daily activities. Extremely low-temperature exposure work intensity affect health, safety, occupational performance. This aimed assess the physiological thermal sensation responses before, during, following a 60 min (−20 °C), which activities were developed. Using ingestible telemetric temperature pills, eight skin sensors, blood pressure equipment, Thermal Sensation Questionnaire, experiments conducted with...
