Rollover crashes are complex events that can result in severe injuries and fatalities. Despite their relatively low frequency, rollover crashes account for a disproportionate number of occupant fatalities and severe injuries. The ECE-R66 regulation ensures the design of passenger bus superstructures for rollover crashworthiness, but neglects considerations of occupant injury severity. Current finite element human body models (HBMs) only represent a limited range of occupant sizes and shapes, neglecting the significant effects of occupant stature and body shape on injury risk.

This study investigated the differences in impact kinematics between non-obese and obese occupants in bus rollover crashes using validated finite element (FE) models. We simulated the ECE R66 tilt table bus rollover test using a 50th percentile male Total Human Model for Safety (THUMS) and an obese THUMS FE model, representing adults with Body Mass Indices of 24 and 35, respectively. The simulations revealed that both models predicted a high head injury risk during partial ejection, while the obese occupant exhibited greater chest deflection and acceleration. Additionally, both models predicted a very low risk of neck and pelvis injury. The large body mass and thick, soft tissue of the obese occupant increased kinetic energy and influenced impact kinematics, leading to a higher probability of chest injury compared to non-obese occupants. This study offers key insights for designing safer passenger buses, especially for obese occupants. By enhancing occupant model accuracy, it paves the way for future research on diverse body types and injury mechanisms, aiding in the creation of inclusive safety regulations and technologies.

Family-to-work stereotype threat (FWST) occurs when employees fear confirming negative stereotypes about workers with caregiving responsibilities. Although a substantial proportion of workers in the U.S. and Italy have caregiving responsibilities (e.g., child or elder care), there is relatively little research on how family-to-work conflict (FWC) may impact employee safety outcomes, nor the mediating and moderating mechanisms involved in explaining these relationships. The current study tests cognitive failures as an explanatory mechanism for the relationship between FWC and workplace accidents and injuries. Additionally, we also test whether employees who experience higher levels of FWST are more vulnerable to adverse safety-related outcomes as a result of FWC. Using lagged data from a sample of N = 196 U.S. employees and cross-sectional data from a sample of N = 814 individuals nested within n = 100 organizations in Italy, results indicate that greater FWC and higher FWST are both related to increased work-related cognitive failures; such cognitive failures are related to more experienced accidents and injuries at work. Notably, within the U.S., these relationships are significantly exacerbated among employees who fear they are confirming negative stereotypes about employees with family obligations. Within Italy, this interaction was only observed among employees of private companies. We discuss our findings in light of the increased blurring of work and life boundaries, and possible legislative and cultural variables explaining differences between the two countries.

As a key contributor of workplace safety, workers’ safety behavior remains a focal point for both enterprises and society. While numerous studies have covered a wide range of topics related to the antecedents of workers’ safety behavior, a cohesive system has yet to be established. Therefore, a comprehensive review and categorization of the antecedents is necessary for the academic community. Consequently, this study first thoroughly defines and systematizes the dimensions of safety behavior. Then, utilizing grounded theory, 230 articles from key journals were screened, resulting in the identification of 17 core categories of antecedents related to workers’ safety behavior, spanning individual, managerial, enterprise and work situation levels. A comprehensive framework of antecedents of workers’ safety behavior was constructed by analyzing the relationships among these core categories. The research results offer practitioners a theoretical framework and practical guidance to improve workers’ safety behavior through policy formulation and behavioral decision-making.

Black Swans are high-impact low-probability events (HILPs) and are considered too complex to cope with because of their unpredictability, uncertainty, and ambiguity. Natech risks are serious and endanger the population, the economy, and the environment, which is often associated with Black Swans as an excuse for failures in safety management. Based on systems thinking, the Complexity Landscape Model (CLM) of Black Swans was developed to identify their root causes of complexity through the Cynefin framework and regional disaster system theory. Black Swans usually occur when the hazard factors and hazard-formative environments are in chaos. Taking China as an example, case statistics and social network analysis were used to examine the intricate origins and evolutionary paths of Natech events. The results showed that technological incidents triggered by natural disasters are typically caused by human errors and inadequate application of state-of-the-art knowledge. They are foreseeable and mitigable and cannot be regarded as Black Swans. We contend that the Natech risk resilience network should be constructed based on systematic evaluation, highlighting the application of multi-disciplinary and crosscutting information; supported by departmental cooperation, emphasizing the flexibility and redundancy of disposal; and safeguarded by resource consolidation, underlining the effectiveness and breadth of participation.

Australian farmers tend to work long hours and have few days off, leading to fatigue. Fatigue factors including longer working hours, peak seasons, reduced sleep, alcohol consumption and heat exposure, have been linked to agricultural incidents. Therefore, this feasibility study aimed to understand the impacts of fatigue on the grains industry during peak periods, gain insight into current fatigue management practices and explore the feasibility of prevention strategies from other industries. The results indicated moderate/high levels of acute fatigue, low/moderate levels of chronic fatigue and moderate/high recovery between shifts. Awareness of fatigue and its contribution to incidents were highlighted, nevertheless, a reluctance within the industry to address fatigue was expressed. Prevention strategies included regular short breaks, scheduling shifts no longer than 12 h with 10-hour intervals between, task rotation, provision of healthy meals and onsite accommodation. However, the weather, labour shortages and finances, may affect the use of these strategies. Broadening the scope to include other agricultural sectors such as beef, cotton or wool, could allow exploration of the similarities and differences regarding fatigue. Best practice measures from other industries may not be feasible in agriculture, therefore a fatigue minimisation approach is recommended. Acknowledging the existing cultural norms about fatigue, is crucial for the acceptability of prevention measures among the agricultural community.

Violence against staff is common in the healthcare sector, as are staff training interventions aiming to reduce work-related violence (WRV). However, limited research has explored the breadth of WRV interventions for staff working in the disability sector. Therefore, the current study aimed to systematically review WRV interventions for staff working in the disability sector using a systems thinking framework, PreventiMap, which is an adaption of Rasmussen’s Risk Management framework. The goal of this research was to identify opportunities to support systemic change in the sector to support the safety of workers. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses approach, a comprehensive search strategy and eligibility criteria were applied across five databases. After screening, a total of 22 intervention studies were included for systematic review. Included studies were synthesised narratively and using the systems thinking PreventiMap technique. The efficacy of interventions was variable, as was the methodological quality of included studies. Most intervention studies (n = 20, 90.1 %) explored staff training, with very few (n = 4, 18.2 %) exploring management or company level WRV interventions. Therefore, it is recommended that organizations implement more holistic WRV interventions that address higher system levels and evaluate their effectiveness using more rigorous designs.

This study explores how safety professionals conceptualize and articulate safety practices, examining how their framing influences actions, facilitates learning from failures, and impacts overall safety outcomes. Twenty-nine safety professionals participated in a Delphi study, which included three online workshops and three rounds of surveys. Eighteen safety practices were developed, framed as both rules-based and principles-based practices. Survey results indicated that both rules-based and principles-based practices were considered essential for achieving safety, with their relative balance likely being context-dependent. While all practices were considered important for preventing accidents, those framed as principles were seen as more challenging to implement but ultimately more effective, especially in complex situations. Better understanding of the way in which safety practices are framed has significant implications for the development of safety standards, guidelines, and recommendations.

As Industry 5.0 evolves, this study addresses critical aspects of system and occupational safety through hazard identification (HAZID), risk analysis, and the interaction between humans and artificial intelligence (HI and AI). This review investigates existing literature to answer three key research questions: (1) How is HAZID conducted to meet the safety demands of Industry 5.0? (2) What constitutes an effective risk analysis framework for this era? (3) How can conflicts between HI and AI be managed to enhance system reliability? The findings demonstrate that AI-driven approaches significantly improve HAZID processes and underscore the necessity of tailored risk analysis frameworks for effective safety management. Additionally, strategies to mitigate HI-AI conflicts are discussed, highlighting the importance of policies that foster decision-making and reliability in human-AI collaboration. The study concludes with practical recommendations for advancing safety management in complex socio-technical systems within Industry 5.0.

Change blindness, a failure to detect changes in visual scenes, can impact workers’ ability to detect hazards and compromise safety on the jobsite. Examining the relationship between this phenomenon and individual characteristics (e.g., personality variables, safety training) may conceivably support safety managers in predicting susceptibility to change blindness. However, little is known regarding variables influencing change blindness in construction safety. To address this knowledge gap, this study examined the association between individual factors such as age, work experience, sex, formal safety training, personality, mindfulness, and injury exposure with change blindness in construction safety settings. To this end, a change detection experiment was conducted to measure participants’ response time and accuracy rate. Hierarchical agglomerative clustering was used to group the continuous dependent variables into analytical categories. Logistic regression was then used to analyze the association of individual factors with both response time and accuracy rate. The results revealed that age and the personality traits of agreeableness (+) and conscientiousness (−) were associated with response time, while mindfulness (+) and injury exposure (+) were associated with the accuracy rate. The findings of this study advance our understanding of variables that impact change blindness. The association of individual factors with change detection performance in construction provides a foundation for subsequent research to understand hazard identification in dynamic environments better. Regarding practice, these individual factors can be used as precursors to predict the susceptibility of workers to change blindness in construction; foreseeably, industry professionals can also utilize the predictive power of these variables to plan preventive actions on the jobsite.

The construction industry faces a high rate of safety accidents. Despite being a critical component of safety management, safety training often falls short of expectations. This shortcoming has been attributed to the insufficient integration of Learning Theories (LTs) and Instructional Design (ID) principles in Construction Safety Training (CST). This paper presents a systematic review of CST, incorporating insights from prominent ID sources, including ID elements (objective, session scheduling, content, tools and methods, learning tasks, and evaluation) and the most prominent LTs. The extent of adherence to these principles and theories in previous CST studies has been evaluated by reviewing 48 CST papers to identify opportunities for improvement. Recommendations for enhancing future CSTs include a) targeting Affective objectives, b) avoiding single-session condensed training, c) incorporating task-based training, d) conducting follow-up and long-term evaluations of knowledge and behavior, and e) incorporating LTs and Principles of Instruction explicitly and systematically. This study compared student training with site worker training, as well as training with and without computer tools, to identify gaps and provide tailored recommendations to improve each type of training. The findings lay the groundwork for integrating ID knowledge into CST, avoiding ID errors, and ultimately enhancing CST’s efficiency to reduce accidents.

This study compared student training with site worker training, as well as training with and without computer tools, to identify gaps and provide tailored recommendations to improve each type of training. The findings lay the groundwork for integrating ID knowledge into CST, avoiding ID errors, and ultimately enhancing CST’s efficiency to reduce accidents.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21375,"journal":{"name":"Safety Science","volume":"184 ","pages":"Article 106769"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143093767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
