Drawing on the job demands-resources (JD-R) theory, this study proposes a double-edged sword effect model of human-AI collaboration on employees’ safety performance. Using three-wave data from 286 employees, the findings show that human-AI collaboration fosters intrinsic motivation and work engagement, thereby enhancing safety performance (the motivation pathway), while also increasing workplace loneliness and job burnout, which inhibits safety performance (the strain pathway). Furthermore, employee resilience amplified the positive impact of human-AI collaboration on intrinsic motivation and mitigated its effects on workplace loneliness. These findings enrich our understanding of human-AI collaboration and offer practical insights for AI adoption and safety management in organizations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21375,"journal":{"name":"Safety Science","volume":"188 ","pages":"Article 106872"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143822401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing a two-wave and multi-organizational source nested dataset of 54 leaders and 495 miners, we found that exploitative leadership correlates with increased unsafe behaviors in miners. Emotional exhaustion was found to partially mediate the association between exploitative leadership and unsafe behaviors, and miners’ social capital, encompassing workflow network ties and friendship network ties, significantly moderates these relationships. Specifically, the influence of exploitative leadership on miners’ emotional exhaustion and unsafe behaviors is less pronounced when social capital levels are high and more pronounced when they are low. This study broadens the understanding of the impacts of exploitative leadership, enriches research on the precursors of unsafe behavior, and offers practical insights for hierarchical management in coal mines.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21375,"journal":{"name":"Safety Science","volume":"188 ","pages":"Article 106873"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143816475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using evolutionary game theory, a three-party government-enterprise-employee evolutionary game model was established to examine strategy selection mechanisms and influencing factors. Numerical simulations of different stable strategy scenarios were conducted using MATLAB software to analyze the impact of different policy parameters on evolutionary trends in stable strategy scenarios of ideal evolutionary games {government-guided, enterprise-implemented, and employee-participated}. Results show that (1) when the cost of OSH governance for each of the three parties, government, enterprises, and employees, is less than the benefits generated, synergistic governance of the three parties can be realized. (2) The closer the initial behavioral strategy of each party is to the ideal evolutionary stable strategy, the faster they converge to the ideal stable strategy. (3) Increasing policy fines has a positive facilitating effect on government guidance, while increasing the policy subsidies and employee rewards has adverse inhibitory effects; increasing policy subsidies, policy fines, and employee compensations has positive promotional effects on enterprises’ implementation of OSHM; and increasing employee rewards and compensations has positive promotional effects on employees’ participation in OSHM.

A two-phase qualitative study was undertaken with community members (focus groups; n = 33) and road transport industry stakeholders (interviews; n = 28).

Most participants believed that it may be appropriate to require at least 5 h of sleep prior to driving and were supportive of fatigue-related deemed impairment legislation, but were concerned about how such legislation would operate in practice. Critically, all participants strongly supported the development of a public education campaign providing clear guidance on how to determine whether one is ‘safe to drive’ based on prior sleep (i.e., ‘how tired is too tired’).

The effectiveness of a notification method is dependent on many factors, such as the medium used, message content, repetition frequency and target area. Therefore, choosing the optimal warning system, or a combination of them, necessitates careful consideration of these factors. Typically, evacuation models do not represent or consider the notification procedures explicitly and hence cannot determine how the specifics of a given notification method, or a combination of them, may affect the evacuation process. Large-scale evacuation tools incorporate the authorities’ notification procedures implicitly by incorporating their effect by increasing the duration of the agents’ response phase. In this work a framework is outlined that allows for the specification of notification methods to be defined within an evacuation model, considering parameters such as the notifications’ initial success rate, their subsequent success rates, in conjunction with time dependent notification areas and a percentage coverage. Using these parameters, a method is outlined that is flexible enough to cover a wide range of notification techniques, from mass notification systems such as location-based SMS and auto diallers, to area specific personnel-based systems, such as door-knocking or mobile loud hailer systems. The proposed notification model is incorporated into the urbanEXODUS large-scale simulation tool and demonstrated through a practical application during an actual tabletop exercise. The study found that incorporating notification procedures in an evacuation model has the potential to aid emergency managers in assessing the outcomes of different notification strategies. The innovation relates to a methodology that enables subject matter experts, such as emergency practitioners, to define notification response profiles within evacuation models. Furthermore, a novel approach for visually summarizing and presenting the simulation results related to the notification scenario and evacuation outcomes has been developed to facilitate communication to a wider audience.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21375,"journal":{"name":"Safety Science","volume":"187 ","pages":"Article 106854"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143761177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While previous research has explored hazard investigation and the introduction of modern technologies for hazard prevention and mitigation, there have been limited efforts to analyze construction incident databases and identify the root causes of incidents through case studies. This study aims to address this research gap by conducting a case study that focuses on a database containing records of 10,415 construction incidents from 2014 to 2020 across New South Wales, Australia. The study adopted a two-step methodology, first conducting a descriptive incident analysis, followed by identifying hazard-specific interventions based on a literature review. Analyzing the frequency of occurrence revealed 10 high-risk hazards that caused the highest number of incidents across construction businesses. Falling objects had the highest frequency of occurrence, accounting for 19.59% of all incidents. Analyzing the frequency of incidents by business type also showed that residential construction is the most hazardous business in the construction industry, with 2,057 recorded incidents.

Laser absorption spectroscopy (LAS) has emerged as a powerful tool for this purpose, offering high sensitivity, selectivity, and real-time monitoring capabilities. This study takes coal spontaneous combustion prediction as an example to explore the application solution of LAS in online detection of CO and C₂H₄. Sub-ppm detection of CO and C₂H₄ is achieved by using tunable lasers with central wavelengths of 2326 nm and 1626 nm in combination with long optical path multi-pass cells. In view of the interference of high-concentration CH₄, a novel method named spectral adaptive transformation non-negative least squares (SAT-NNLS) for aliasing spectrum demodulation is proposed. Based on the above dual-gas sensor and spectral processing method, the detection performance of CO and C₂H₄ is experimentally verified and analyzed. Experimental results show that the detection limits of the sensor system for CO and C₂H₄ are 0.39 ppm and 0.34 ppm respectively. Even in the background of 10000 ppm CH₄, we have achieved for the first time that the impact on the detection of C₂H₄ does not exceed 0.61 ppm. In addition, an oxidation experiment is carried out on coal samples from Wulan coal mine to verify the feasibility and reliability of the system for the in-site detection of CO and C₂H₄.
