Modular integrated construction (MiC) has gained significant attention as a viable means of enhancing the overall performance of the industry. Despite its numerous advantages, MiC presents occupational safety and health (OSH) challenges due to its unique characteristics, like off-site manufacturing, standardisation, and specialised assembly processes. These complexities necessitate comprehensive management of OSH risks. Although existing studies have addressed some OSH issues in MiC, a comprehensive review that thoroughly covers OSH hazards, risk outcomes and management strategies throughout the entire lifecycle of MiC is lacking. To address this gap, a systematic literature review (SLR) following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) approach was conducted, resulting in the identification of 130 relevant articles from Scopus and Web of Science (WoS). This SLR identified the OSH areas addressed by MiC, types of OSH hazards and risk outcomes associated with MiC, hierarchies of control, types of construction work and MiC lifecycle stages, technologies used for OSH management, challenges in OSH management of MiC, and future research directions. The results show that the most commonly researched hazards that have been mitigated and introduced by MiC are fall- and health-related hazards, respectively. Additionally, administrative controls are the most common hierarchy of control in the previous studies. This in-depth knowledge offers practitioners valuable insights into hazards and risk outcomes associated with MiC while emphasising the technologies used in various studies to mitigate these risks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21375,"journal":{"name":"Safety Science","volume":"189 ","pages":"Article 106897"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144084386","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}

However, despite its positive contributions, the sector still faces deficits in decent work conditions and persistent concerns regarding occupational safety and health standards. Addressing these challenges requires strategic, well-regulated investment in tourism, which can catalyze economic development, promote fair labor standards, and ensure safe working environments over the long term. These dynamics were investigated using four-panel autoregressive distributed lag models for 15 European Union countries from 2002 to 2019 to assess the effects of capital investment in travel and tourism and the direct contribution of tourism to employment on each pillar of decent work, both in the short- and long-run. More specifically, this analysis comprised four distinct models: Model I examines the influence on job creation, Model II assesses the impact on social protection, Model III investigates the effects on workers’ rights, and Model IV explores the implications for social dialogue. The main results reveal that capital investment in tourism positively affects job creation in the short and long run as well as social protection and rights at work (in the long run). In contrast, tourism capital investment seems to affect social dialogue adversely. Regarding the direct contribution of tourism to employment, it positively impacts job creation and rights at work while exerting a negative influence on social protection and social dialogue, but only in the long run. The panel Granger non-causality method confirms a relationship between tourism-related indicators and each pillar of decent work.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21375,"journal":{"name":"Safety Science","volume":"189 ","pages":"Article 106896"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143933621","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}

Therefore, developing an algorithm that can minimize casualties by providing safe egress routes considering these bottlenecks is necessary. In this study, fire simulations were conducted for large multiplex buildings to analyze the correlation between fire temperature, visibility, and toxic gas concentration and to build a database. Based on this, we developed an algorithm to predict the real-time available safe egress time (<em>ASET<sub>i</sub></em>) at a specific location using an artificial neural network (ANN)-based model; the results confirmed that <em>ASET<sub>i</sub></em> can be predicted accurately. Furthermore, an algorithm was developed to estimate the number of occupants considering the bottleneck, an optimal egress route derivation system that reflects toxic gas and densely populated areas was proposed, and the reliability of the proposed model was validated.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21375,"journal":{"name":"Safety Science","volume":"189 ","pages":"Article 106887"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143923832","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}

The study uniquely assesses perceptions across a broad sample of experts representing different professional groups—Executive Leadership Professionals, Onboard Operational Officers, and Administrative Professionals—highlighting variations and commonalities in their views on safety practices. The core findings emphasize the significance of an integrated approach to managing human factors, primarily through comprehensive training programs, robust leadership, and clear communication. Central to this approach are decision-making skills, which serve as a mediator, channeling the synergistic effects of the aforementioned causal factors to significantly enhance safety culture and strengthen crisis management practices within the maritime industry. By focusing on these pivotal areas, maritime organizations can enhance their safety protocols, thereby fostering a more resilient and effective safety management system.
