Purpose Safety warnings remind construction workers about dangers and guide them to take necessary actions to avoid potential injuries, which could encourage their safe behavior. Workers’ behavior compliance with the safety warnings would be impacted by the risk perception levels induced by the warnings. This study aims to examine whether the desig...

Despite longstanding traditional construction health and safety management (CHSM) methods, the construction industry continues to face persistent challenges in this field. Neuroscience tools offer potential advantages in addressing these safety and health issues by providing objective data to indicate subjects’ cognition and behavior. The applicati...

Training construction workers in safe postures for their tasks could help them avoid unsafe postures and reduce work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). This study compared two forms of atlas design in facilitating workers’ learning postures, including their differences in guiding workers’ attention allocation and cognitive load during the l...

Physical fatigue is frequent for heavy manual laborers like construction workers, but it causes distraction and may lead to safety incidents. The purpose of this study is to develop predictive models for monitoring construction workers’ inattention caused by physical fatigue utilizing electrocardiograph (ECG) and galvanic skin response (GSR) sensor...
Article
The hazard identification ability of frontline safety supervisors is essential to ensure site safety. As experience can benefit the identification performance, this study investigates the gaps between inexperienced and experienced safety supervisors. Thirty-five experienced safety supervisors and 35 novices were invited to identify hazards in 18 vi...
Article
Construction cameras have been used to support autonomous job site monitoring in recent years. However, it remains challenging to find the optimal camera placement configuration in a dynamic job site environment. To address this problem, this paper proposes a camera placement optimization framework using building information modeling (BIM). The fra...

... Thus, when developing our own solution, we must rely on the measurement error that has been calibrated for the sensors directly from the manufacturer. If we use sensors such as ECG, GSR, EDA, EEG and others to measure physiological functions [11], [12], it is always necessary to determine the given measurement error of the sensor at the beginning of the research [13], so that we can determine how much error we can count on, or what measurement accuracy we can achieve when using these types of sensors [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19]. ...
... This implies that two firms differing by one score in their safety culture are anticipated to have an average difference of 0.77 in the performance scores of their frontline supervisors. This improvement in the performance of the frontline supervisors leads to an average improvement of 0.59 in the performance scores of field Purpose of article Frontline supervisors-related aspects Ouyang and Luo (2022) Examine the disparities in hazard recognition between safety supervisors with limited experience and those with a more seasoned background. ...
... Developing camera placement plans is essential to maximize the benefits of visual surveillance systems [13,14]. This involves determining the optimal locations for cameras to effectively cover critical areas of the construction site. ...
