Hence, there is a need to understand the underlying factors of workplace incidences and their prevention. This study investigates the link between fatalistic beliefs, perceived effectiveness of preventive actions and safety behaviour. Healthcare workers (n = 611) from public and private hospitals in three south-eastern states in Nigeria responded to scales measuring fatalistic beliefs, perceived effectiveness of preventive actions and safety behaviour. The results showed that fatalistic beliefs are negatively related to adoption of safety behaviour. Fatalistic individuals have low perceived effectiveness of preventive actions. Moreover, when individuals perceive that preventive actions are effective, they tend to adopt safer behaviour. An interaction analysis with age showed that the negative effect of fatalistic beliefs on perceived effectiveness of preventive actions is stronger when healthcare workers' age increases. Recommendations for effective preventive actions are discussed.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143732232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to assess the prevalence of WMSCs including musculoskeletal injuries among surgeons in Saudi Arabia and identify predisposing factors contributing to these complaints.Methods: An anonymous online cross-sectional survey was conducted and descriptive statistics, Pearson's χ2 test, Fisher's exact test, ϕ coefficient and Cramér's V test were used to analyze the data.Results: A total of 316 surgeons participated, of whom 63% were aged between 21 and 40 years, 40.2% were female, 61.7% were not married and 82.3% were in full-time practice. Of the surveyed surgeons, 65.5% complained of musculoskeletal symptoms including 15.2% who reported having musculoskeletal injuries. Position, years of experience and duration of daily practice were significantly associated with musculoskeletal injuries. There was no significant difference between male and female surgeons in developing musculoskeletal injuries; however, a higher proportion of females, compared to males, were thinking of retirement because of these symptoms.Conclusions: A considerable proportion of surgeons reported experiencing WMSCs and injuries that negatively affected their work performance. This may lead some to consider early retirement. Based on the results, suggestions to minimize WMSCs among surgeons are presented.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143694008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many industries globally strive to ensure the safety of their workforce in order to achieve the goal of economic advancement. As such, employers prioritize workers' safety skills, making this study essential in examining the impact of safety management practices on technicians' safety behaviour, with safety orientation as a mediator. Methods. Using a correlational research design, a sample of 821 electrical installation and maintenance work (EIMW) technicians was selected through stratified sampling from the Nigerian Association of Technologists in Engineering. Data were collected using instruments adapted from existing literature on safety management practices (management commitment, safety training, technician's involvement, safety communication and feedback, safety rules and procedures), safety orientation and safety performance. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25 and confirmatory factor analysis was conducted using AMOS SPSS version 23 for analysing the hypotheses. Results. Management commitment, safety training, safety communication and feedback positively influenced safety compliance, while technicians' involvement and safety promotion policies positively impacted safety participation. Safety orientation did not mediate the relationship between management commitment and safety compliance. Conclusion. The study recommends that management in industries should engage in a safety leadership walk where there is a regular tour to address safety concerns in real time.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143694029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Personal cooling garments, as an effective means to alleviate heat stress among outdoor workers, have garnered significant attention domestically and internationally. Phase-change cooling garments (PCCGs) have gained popularity due to their cost-effectiveness, portability, environmental benefits and energy efficiency. However, PCCGs face limitations, e.g., short cooling duration, low thermal conductivity of phase-change materials (PCMs) and challenges in regulating phase transition temperature. This study reviews the evolution of cooling garments, examines the design and implementation of PCCGs, and discusses key technologies in their development. Future research is needed to explore novel PCMs, heat transfer models, garment design and intelligent temperature control. The goal is to create standardized, portable and comfortable PCCGs. Furthermore, commercial applications of PCCGs are expanding, highlighting their growing importance in improving occupational safety and ergonomics in high-temperature environments.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143694058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article aimed to explore the professional identity of safety professionals in China using a questionnaire survey. Methods. A six-element professional identity model with multi-dimensional characteristics was proposed, including cognition, attributes, motivation, emotion, values and behavioral tendencies. Subsequently, a questionnaire on the professional identity of safety professionals was developed and validated. Based on the survey results from 236 safety professionals across different industries, the study examined whether there were significant differences in the impact of hierarchical position, education level and years of experience on professional identity. Results. The results indicate that the professional identity of safety professionals is positively correlated with their education level and hierarchical position. Conclusion. The role and position of safety professionals within the organization influence their perceptions of professional identity. Safety professionals with 11-15 working years had the highest level of professional identity. Systematic education helps safety professionals gain a clearer understanding of their own occupation and form a stable professional psychological state. Safety professionals exhibited a passive tendency toward self-learning, colleague safety and active participation in safety work. Additionally, changes in hierarchical position within the organization and the realization of professional advancement are more conducive to developing a strong sense of professional belonging.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143694030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
