RISStipends in Highway Design–Build Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Considering that little guidance exists for determining the appropriate stipend amount in design–build projects, the goal of this study is to benchmark the current practices regarding stipends and determine the relative ...
Cost of Occupational Incidents for Electrical Contractors: Comparison Using Robust-Factorial Analysis of Variance
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Construction accidents can negatively affect the performance of a project. Evaluating the financial consequences of these accidents is an effective method for measuring their impacts on owners, contractors, and society. ...
Assessing Hazard Anticipation in Dynamic Construction Environments Using Multimodal 360-Degree Panorama Videos
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Given the dynamic and complex nature of a construction site, the ability to recognize hazards in a surrounding environment is highly associated with worker safety. While many studies have examined the hazard identification ...
Application of Automaticity Theory in Construction
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Automaticity, an essential skill attribute, develops when an activity is performed without requiring attention. Despite its importance, little is known about the implications of automaticity in the construction industry. ...
Diffusion of Safety Innovations in the Construction Industry
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Safety performance in the construction industry has improved significantly in the past four decades. This improvement has been attributed in part to the increased implementation of injury prevention strategies. Although ...
Measuring the Impacts of Safety Knowledge on Construction Workers’ Attentional Allocation and Hazard Detection Using Remote Eye-Tracking Technology
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Attribute-Based Safety Risk Assessment. I: Analysis at the Fundamental Level
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Quantifying safety risks and performing comparative analyses is an emerging research field. Unfortunately, current risk assessment strategies are problematic because they require every new infrastructure feature and ...
Attribute-Based Safety Risk Assessment. II: Predicting Safety Outcomes Using Generalized Linear Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: One of the recent advancements in preconstruction safety management is the identification and quantification of risks associated with fundamental attributes of construction work environments that cause injuries. The goal ...
Impact of Construction Workers’ Hazard Identification Skills on Their Visual Attention
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Eye-movement metrics have been shown to correlate with attention and, therefore, represent a means of identifying and analyzing an individual’s cognitive processes. Human errors—such as failure to identify a hazard—are ...
Impact of Change Blindness on Worker Hazard Identification at Jobsites
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Due to the dynamic nature of construction sites, workers face constant changes, including changes that endanger their safety. Failing to notice significant changes to visual scenes—known as change blindness—can potentially ...
