This study evaluated radiation protection knowledge among oral and dental healthcare professionals in Turkey, focusing on medical imaging technicians (MITs), dentists and dental assistants (DAs). Methods. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted with 236 participants using the validated Turkish version of the healthcare professional knowledge of radiation protection (Tr-HPKRP) scale. Knowledge was assessed across three domains: radiation physics and principles; radiation protection; and safe use of ionizing radiation. Mann-Whitney U tests and Kruskal-Wallis tests were applied for group comparisons. Results. MITs achieved significantly higher scores than dentists and DAs across all domains (p < 0.01). Structured education through academic programs or formal in-service training was positively associated with knowledge (p < 0.01), while reliance on informal sources such as media or colleagues showed no effect (p > 0.05). Professional experience was not correlated with knowledge (p > 0.05). Conclusions. Substantial knowledge gaps exist among dentists and DAs compared with MITs. Integrating standardized and regularly updated radiation safety training into undergraduate curricula and continuing professional development is essential to improve compliance with best practices and ensure patient and practitioner safety in dental diagnostic imaging.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147436722","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}

Since teachers are a population especially exposed to burnout, it is relevant to explore whether this group presents different burnout profiles that depend on a combination of different levels in each of the three dimensions of burnout. Methods. A sample of 320 teachers with a mean age of 45 years (SD 8.24; 66.3% women) participated in a cross-sectional study by completing a questionnaire. Results. The cluster analysis confirmed three different profiles: compromised, ineffective and burnt-out. Although the burnt-out and compromised clusters exhibited significant differences in all the variables studied, no significant differences were found in stress, self-efficacy in coping with stress, job demands, control or emotional charge between the burnt-out and ineffective clusters, nor in the job demands between the ineffective and committed clusters. Conclusion. The results highlighted that prevention and intervention programs should be addressed not only to teaching staff with levels that indicate burnout in the three dimensions of the syndrome, corresponding to the profile burnt-out, but also to those who show an ineffective profile, since the expression of many variables of interest traditionally related to burnout showed a similar pattern to the burnt-out profile.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147391587","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 work aimed to design and develop a computerized posture assessment system that utilizes Python and MediaPipe, to calculate rapid entire body assessment (REBA) and rapid upper limb assessment (RULA) scores. The developed system aims to improve the efficiency and accuracy of ergonomic risk evaluations, and provide real-time feedback for immediate corrective action. Methods. The proposed system leverages MediaPipe, an open source machine learning solution pre-trained on pose estimation models to extract key skeletal landmarks from images and video frames. Two distinct approaches were developed, one for upper body posture estimation and another for entire body posture estimation. Results. Posture analysis and REBA/RULA scoring were achieved within 500-700 ms per frame, enabling real-time feedback. An average accuracy of 93% is achieved in estimating joint angles and computing correct ergonomic scores compared to expert humans. The developed algorithm handled a wide range of postures and lighting conditions, indicating strong potential for practical deployment. Conclusions. The proposed posture evaluation system offers a reliable, automated solution for ergonomic risk assessment, marking a significant step toward digital ergonomics. The high accuracy, low latency and ease of integration of the system make it a promising tool for real-time ergonomic monitoring and intervention.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147357194","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}

Based on the extant literature, the study identified determinants across three dimensions: personal, behavioural and environmental dimensions. This quantitative research collected datasets from senior seafarers (i.e., experts) from the deck and engine departments in South Korea. The fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (f-DEMATEL) method was employed to categorize the determinants of safety behaviours of leaders into cause-and-effect groups. The analysis newly revealed that the organizational-environment dimension can largely interact with the personal dimension for leadership approaches to reinforce safety behaviours. Moreover, safety climate was found to be a critical determinant significantly influencing other determinants. Reviewing this research, seafarers and management staff in South Korea could develop a strategic plan to enhance the safety behaviours of leaders.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147345438","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}

The current study analyzed a large sample (N > 11,000) to explore how leader and subordinate perceptions could influence three safety-related issues: safety underreporting, where the individual knowingly withholds safety information from the organization; near misses, where the situation could have resulted in injury but did not; and frequency of actual safety incident reporting. As both leader perceptions and subordinate perceptions became more negative, problematic safety-related issues increased. Leader and subordinate perceptions most strongly affected safety underreporting with a moderate relationship to the likelihood of experiencing a near miss, and the weakest (although statistically significant) relationship to actual safety reporting. Although safety underreporting is affected most, leader and subordinate perceptions can have a robust influence upon multiple aspects of safety climate.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"125-131"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144267639","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}
