摘要

外骨骼的出现为减少建筑行业的背部伤害带来了新的机遇。建筑业利益相关者对影响采用外骨骼的因素的看法将为外骨骼在建筑业的成功实施提供参考。本研究旨在了解建筑行业采用背部支撑外骨骼的关键因素。我们对行业从业人员进行了调查,以确定其观点对采用外骨骼的决策至关重要的重要利益相关者。调查还确定了可能影响建筑行业采用外骨骼的因素。采用了层次分析法对这些因素进行评估和排序。根据调查结果,进行了两次焦点小组讨论,以了解这些因素如何影响实施过程。调查结果显示,建筑工人、监理、监管机构、人体工程学专家、企业管理层和安全专业人员是建筑行业采用外骨骼的主要利益相关者。外骨骼的特点,如可用性、耐用性、长期效益和与工作任务的兼容性,是最重要的促进因素,而捕捉和卡住风险、合身性、重量和成本合理性则是最关键的障碍。焦点小组讨论强调了背部支撑外骨骼的好处和应用、外骨骼的设计修改以及在建筑行业采用外骨骼所面临的挑战。建筑公司可以利用这些发现制定外骨骼实施战略。研究人员和设计师可以利用设计修改来提高外骨骼在建筑工作中的适应性。本研究通过定义影响外骨骼应用的关键决策者和因素,为社会技术系统理论做出了贡献。

Factors influencing the adoption of passive exoskeletons in the construction industry: Industry perspectives

The emergence of exoskeletons has opened new opportunities to reduce back injuries in the construction industry. Perspectives of construction stakeholders regarding factors that influence adoption of exoskeletons, would inform successful implementation of exoskeletons in the construction industry. This study aims to understand factors that are critical for the adoption of back-support exoskeletons in the construction industry. Industry practitioners were surveyed to identify the important stakeholders whose perspectives are critical to decisions regarding the adoption of exoskeletons. The survey also identifies the factors that could influence the implementation of exoskeletons in the construction industry. Analytical hierarchy process was employed to evaluate and rank the factors. Informed by the survey results, two focus groups were conducted to understand how the factors influence the implementation process. The results identified construction workers, supervisors, regulatory bodies, ergonomists, corporate management, and safety professionals as the key stakeholders for exoskeleton adoption in the construction industry. Exoskeleton features such as usability, durability, long-term benefits and compatibility with work tasks are the most important facilitators, whereas catch and snag risks, fit, weight, and cost justification are the most critical barriers. The focus group discussions highlighted the benefits and applications of back-support exoskeletons, design modifications to exoskeletons, and challenges to adopting exoskeletons in the construction industry. Construction companies could leverage these findings to develop exoskeleton implementation strategies. Researchers and designers could use the design modifications to improve adaptability of exoskeletons for construction work. This study contributes to the socio-technical systems theory by defining key decision-makers and factors influencing exoskeleton adoption.
