Smart technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), have significant potential to enhance occupational health and safety programs. This scoping review examines AI applications in personal protective equipment (PPE). Methods. Following Arksey and O'Malley's framework, PubMed, Web of Science and Google Scholar were systematically searched for peer-reviewed studies published between 2010 and 2024. Two independent reviewers screened 277 records, and 47 studies met the inclusion criteria. Results. AI applications in PPE were categorized into three domains: AI-based PPE compliance detection (59.6%) using computer vision and deep learning for automated monitoring of helmets, masks and vests; big data-driven PPE stockpiling and analysis frameworks (17.0%) for supply chain management and inventory optimization; and AI-based smart PPE for occupational hazard prevention (23.4%) integrating sensors and AI algorithms for real-time worker monitoring and risk prediction. The most commonly employed techniques included convolutional neural networks, YOLO, SSD and support vector machines, with applications across construction, healthcare, oil and gas, and nuclear industries. Conclusion. Integration of AI with PPE has demonstrated promising results in enhancing worker safety across various industries. This emerging field requires further research attention and wider industrial implementation to fully realize its potential in preventing occupational injuries and illnesses.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149128932","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}

Conventional assessments lack the systemic depth to proactively identify these factors. This study addresses this gap by evaluating the accident scenario model as a proactive methodology for MoC hazard identification. Employing a single-case study of an Indonesian aviation provider's MoC project, data (documents, interviews, observations) were triangulated and findings validated through focus group discussions. The methodology successfully identified 11 major socio-technical hazards including workload saturation, competency gaps and cultural reticence. Accident scenarios revealed complex failure pathways stemming from these often-latent conditions. This research offers novel empirical validation for the proactive application of the accident scenario model to MoC, providing a practical tool for systemic, human and organizational factors (HOF)-focused hazard identification that moves beyond traditional linear assessments. The findings provide actionable insights for enhancing MoC effectiveness by addressing critical socio-technical vulnerabilities in aviation and beyond.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149065119","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}

Statistical analyses included t tests, Pearson correlation and Bayesian models to assess group-level differences and interactions. Professionals perceived lower risk in assembly (e.g., spanner; t = 2.52, p < 0.05), greater comfort in culinary tasks (e.g., stirring; t = -2.57, p < 0.05) and higher perceived safety during ladder activities with combined PPE use.

Specifically, it tests whether distinct behavioral dimensions mediate the relationships between safety training and safety management, prevention and control. Using structural equation modeling, survey data from 707 employees in high-risk industries were analyzed. The results indicate that employee perceptions of safety training are positively associated with self-reported safety management, prevention and control, and that these associations are mediated by safety proactivity behaviors. Change-oriented safety voice, affiliative-oriented safety stewardship and proactive safety initiative functioned as domain-specific mediators within the estimated model. Because the data are cross-sectional, these findings are interpreted as associations rather than causal effects. The patterns observed nonetheless underscore the relevance of targeted safety training to proactive safety frameworks and offer actionable implications for safety managers seeking to strengthen leading safety indicators in complex sociotechnical systems.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148991997","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}

To better understand and mitigate workplace fatigue, a practical, data-driven methodological framework is proposed that integrates survey-based fatigue measurement, regression analysis and mathematical optimization. In a South Korean order fulfillment center, order pickers were surveyed to assess their perceived physical fatigue. The regression analysis identified six significant factors associated with fatigue, which were used as key inputs for schedule design. An optimization model, linked to the regression results, determines the timing and duration of work-break cycles. Four alternative schedules were generated to balance the objectives of minimizing the average fatigue level and the end-of-shift fatigue level. After managerial consultation, the schedule focusing on end-of-shift fatigue reduction was selected. Compared with the current schedule, it is expected to reduce the mean end-of-shift perceived fatigue level by 11.5% while maintaining the same total working hours.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148945955","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}

Poor nutrition, together with strenuous labor and challenging working conditions, further contributes to fatigue, impaired balance and reduced work performance. This review examined the relationship among nutrition, worker fatigue, occupational safety and job performance in the construction industry. Evidence suggests that fatigue frequently occurs when workers exceed their physiological capacity, increasing the risk of accidents. Nutritional strategies, including a proper diet, adequate hydration and targeted nutrient supplementation, have shown promise in alleviating fatigue by supporting neurotransmitter function, energy metabolism and antioxidant defense. These physiological benefits may improve alertness, balance and physical performance, thereby enhancing work efficiency and promoting safer work practices. Further construction-specific nutritional studies are needed to establish effective strategies to reduce fatigue and improve occupational safety.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148913846","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}
