RISSafety Risk Tolerance in the Construction Industry: Cross-Cultural Analysis
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Disparities in worker risk tolerance may create barriers to implementing safety management systems and improving safety performance. At present, it is unclear if and to what extent construction safety risk tolerance vary ...
Using Debiasing Strategies to Manage Cognitive Biases in Construction Risk Management: Recommendations for Practice and Future Research
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Construction risk management processes necessarily rely on subjective assessments and heuristic rules. Historic data are desirable, but rarely are available due to the unique nature of individual construction project and ...
Identifying and Controlling Biases in Expert-Opinion Research: Guidelines for Variations of Delphi, Nominal Group Technique, and Focus Groups
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In construction engineering and management (CEM) research, conducting field studies often is infeasible because of resource constraints, limited access to sites, practicality, confounding factors, and ethical limitations. ...
Modeling the Relationship between Personal Risk Tolerance, Work-Related Risk Tolerance, and Risk-Taking Behavior of Construction Workers
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Despite the development and implementation of intensive health and safety training programs, the construction industry still remains one of the most dangerous industries. To remain safe, workers must be able to effectively ...
Practical Assessment of Potential Predictors of Serious Injuries and Fatalities in Construction
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Serious injuries and fatalities (SIF) continue to be an enigmatic problem in the construction industry. Researchers have begun to explore new ways of preventing these incidents by developing and testing leading indicators, ...
The Things That Hurt People Are Not the Same as the Things That Kill People: Key Differences in the Proximal Causes of Low- and High-Severity Construction Injuries
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The safety profession has been shaped by the assumption that there is a fixed ratio of low- to high-severity injuries and the notion that injuries of all severity levels share the same general causes. There is now very ...
Predicting Serious Injury and Fatality Exposure Using Machine Learning in Construction Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Safety academics and practitioners in construction typically use safety prediction models that employ information associated with past incidents to predict the likelihood of future injury or fatality on site. However, most ...
Impact of Energy-Based Safety Training on Quality of Prejob Safety Meetings and Control of Hazardous Energy in Construction: Multiple Baseline Experiment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs) continue to plague the construction industry. The preponderance of evidence suggests that preventing SIFs requires the identification, assessment, and control of hazardous energy. In ...
Analysis of YouTube Comments to Inform the Design of Virtual Reality Training Simulations to Target Emotional Arousal
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Workplace safety remains a concern in the construction industry as fatality rates continue to rise. While hazard recognition training programs have been implemented using multimedia-based modules, their effects have not ...
Using Augmented Virtuality to Examine How Emotions Influence Construction-Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Safety Decisions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: There is emerging evidence that emotional states can influence human decision making under uncertainty. However, it remains unclear if and how emotions influence people’ ability to recognize hazards, assess safety risk, ...
