The health and safety (H&S) commitment level among construction project clients often remains minimal. Therefore, there is a need for a structured framework that delineates actionable strategies to enhance clients' commitment to H&S. This study identified drivers for enhancing clients' commitment to H&S and further developed a guiding framework to enhance clients' commitment to H&S. Methods. The study employed a qualitative research design, utilizing a structured interview guide to gather data purposively from 22 professionals. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the textual data, and Pareto analysis was conducted to prioritize the identified critical and non-critical drivers. Results. The identified critical drivers were health and safety regulations reform, cost savings and reduced expenses, risk management and liability reduction, effective stakeholder engagement, strong relationships between clients and contractors, clients' health and safety education, and high expectations from project stakeholders. The framework revealed that education, monitoring and innovation foster clients' accountability and ensure sustained H&S performance. Conclusion. The study informs clients about effective strategies for integrating H&S concerns into their decision-making. The framework also serves as a basis for policy recommendations, providing data-driven insights into the development of regulations and guidelines for enhancing clients' commitment to H&S.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"794-808"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145769567","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}

Enhancing workers' risk perception through targeted training is crucial in reducing the likelihood of occupational accidents. Electroencephalography (EEG) is utilized as a robust tool for exploring the intricacies of how risk is processed by workers. This study proposes a procedure for recognizing workers' risk perception using EEG. Methods. Fifty-five construction workers were recruited to view the images depicting various types of hazards and the EEG signals were recorded simultaneously. Following the extraction of pertinent features, different classification models have been employed to identify the critical brain channels in risk perception. Results. The findings indicate that frontal lobe channels are particularly effective at discerning variations in risk perception. Workers with varying levels of experience and risk inclination demonstrate distinct neural responses when confronted with risk stimuli. Conclusion. These results suggest the neural dynamics underlying risk perception and the specific brain regions of construction workers that can inform targeted safety-training programs.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"925-936"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146195904","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}

High-temperature metal splash is one of the common factors leading to safety accidents in metallurgy and casting industries. There are few quantitative studies on the performance of thermal protective fabrics in a metal splash environment, as existing standards rely on qualitative damage criteria. Methods. A new method for evaluating the contact protective performance (CPP) of fabric was proposed. The second-degree skin burn time, calculated based on the skin temperature change curves, was adopted as a key metric for the quantitative analysis of the CPP. Furthermore, the effects of precisely controlled contact temperature and moisture content on the CPP were investigated. Results. Fabric thickness had a more significant impact on the CPP than fiber composition. Fabrics containing meta-aramid fibers exhibited superior protective performance compared to their flame-retardant cotton counterparts. The second-degree skin burn time at a contact temperature of 600 °C was 4.3-20.2 s. During the transition from a dry state to 100% wet for the test fabrics, an optimal value of the CPP might exist. The findings provide theoretical support for design of the protective clothing, which is crucial for enhancing the safety of personnel in the metallurgy and casting industries.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"821-831"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145858192","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}

Burnout has been shown to be associated with the risk of occupational accidents and workforce loss, and it has been reported that the initial signs of burnout among physicians begin during medical school or during residency training. This study therefore aimed to determine the prevalence of burnout and the relationship between burnout, occupational accidents and workforce loss among resident physicians working at a university hospital in Ankara, Türkiye. Methods. The cross-sectional study was conducted among 144 resident physicians in a university hospital using a face-to-face questionnaire focusing on burnout subscales, occupational accidents and absenteeism. Results. The study proved that having an occupational accident, the number of occupational accidents, the type of occupational accidents such as sharp injuries, exposure to blood and body fluids, and experiencing trip-and-fall incidents were associated with burnout subscale scores (except personal accomplishment). No relationship was found between all other variables and burnout subscale scores. Conclusion. A relationship was identified between the occurrence of occupational accidents and the number of accidents experienced with the level of burnout. This finding suggests that interventions aimed at preventing burnout may also contribute to a reduction in occupational accidents. This provides evidence for future prospective and interventional studies.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"846-853"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145835071","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}

Understanding working posture among information technologies (IT) professionals can help in specifying postural risks that make this population vulnerable to work-related musculoskeletal pain. This study analysed the working posture and risk of neck disability among IT professionals, as well as identifying their correlations. Methods. After recording demographic data, working posture and neck pain were assessed using rapid upper limb assessment (RULA) and the neck disability index (NDI). Subjects were also evaluated for cervical endurance and neck range of motion using pressure biofeedback and a universal goniometer. Results. In total, 71% of subjects reported mild discomfort, while 6.25% had a serious posture problem in RULA; 47.9% of IT professionals reported positive for neck pain with mild neck disability. Subjects with neck pain showed statistically significant neck disability and reduced left cervical rotation. Finally, the NDI showed a weak negative correlation with neck rotation, and RULA indicated a weak negative correlation with neck lateral flexion and rotation. Conclusion. IT professionals have improper posture at the workstation, with many subjects reporting positive findings for neck pain and mild neck disability. Also, the greater the neck disability and RULA scores, the lower the neck mobility for lateral flexion and rotation.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"896-902"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146031336","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 impact of self-control depletion on team safety compliance and participation was moderated by the interaction of team safety descriptive norm levels and strength. The weakest negative effect occurred when both norm strength and norm levels were high, while the strongest negative effect occurred with high norm strength and low norm levels.

In Experiment 2, 20 healthy participants completed repetitive lifting to assess metabolic cost, perceived exertion and discomfort, and user satisfaction. Results. In Experiment 1, Exosoft significantly reduced activation of the erector spinae longissimus (-7.8%) and iliocostalis (-10%) during lifting and lowering phases, and decreased lower trapezius activity (-11.4%) during holding and lowering movements. However, ankle dorsiflexion declined (-10.7%), representing a functional side effect. In Experiment 2, no significant changes in metabolic cost were detected. Nevertheless, participants reported high satisfaction, with an average score of 4/5. Effectiveness and comfort emerged as the most valued features. Conclusion.

Electrical work remains a dangerous occupation in Australia and around the world. Despite industry regulations and technological safety advancements, serious electrical incidents involving electrical workers, including electrical fatalities, continue to occur. Systems thinking approaches predict that incidents such as these are complex system problems caused by multiple factors at a range of system levels, rather than simply caused by worker error. Methods. This study extracted causal factors identified in 11 Australian coroner reports investigating electrical fatalities involving electrical workers. Extracted factors and inter-relationships were mapped on an AcciMap to identify where in the system the factor occurred and tested against the key predictions of Rasmussen's risk management framework (RMF), a systems thinking framework. Results. Causal factors of electrical incidents involving electrical workers were found to be numerous and extend to system levels beyond the front-line worker. Evidence within the coroner reports supported each of the seven key predictions of the RMF. Conclusion. This study identifies the electrical industry as a complex socio-technical system and determines that electrical incidents involving electrical workers are therefore complex systems problems. Recommendations are made for the adoption of systems thinking frameworks in electrical incident investigations, policy and preventative strategy development, and associated research.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"832-845"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145795238","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}
