Unsafe Behaviors in Workers at Heights: A Spacetime-Based Coupling Analysis Method and Its Safety Implications

Abstract

AbstractUnsafe behaviors among construction workers are a major cause of safety incidents. Existing studies often focus on single or static analyses, limiting their ability to reveal behavior interrelationships and dynamic impacts. Spacetime coupling ...Practical ApplicationsThis study offers a practical framework for improving construction safety through the analysis of spacetime coupling among unsafe behaviors. For instance, the coupling of a noncompliant scaffolding setup with climbing unprotected to ...
