This study aimed to identify factors associated with the Neck Pain-specific Health Behavior in Office Workers (NHBOW) scores, a screening tool to assess health behaviors for preventing neck pain, among healthy office workers. Methods. A cross-sectional online survey using a self-administered questionnaire was conducted among office workers by collecting data on demographics, psychosocial factors, exercise-related self-efficacy, self-regulation, outcome expectations and NHBOW score. Multivariate logistic regression was conducted to determine the factors significantly associated with NHBOW scores. Results. A total of 507 workers completed the questionnaire (1150 invited; 44% response rate). The NHBOW scores were significantly associated with exercise goal-setting (a subscale of the self-regulation) and marital status. High exercise goal-setting scores were significantly associated with better health behaviors (odds ratio [OR] 0.495, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.372, 0.660], p < 0.001), whereas being divorced was significantly associated with poorer health behaviors (OR 3.586, 95% CI [1.262, 10.191], p = 0.017). Conclusion. The findings suggest that effective health measures should, at a minimum, focus on enhancing exercise goal-setting to prevent non-specific neck pain, while also incorporating support tailored to individuals with differing marital statuses.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"937-941"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146067565","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}

Results show fatal accidents peak in March, June-August and November-December. Geographically, central and southwestern regions are high-risk, with Shanxi Province alone accounting for 15.6% of accidents. Analysis of accident causes revealed that 47.2% were attributable to human factors. By type, mechanical accidents were most common, and fire accidents were the least. Based on historical statistical trends, the ETS(M,Ad,N) model projects that the mortality rate per million tons will continue to decline from 2026 to 2030.

Drawing upon social exchange theory and the norm activation model, this study examines how green inclusive leadership influences employee green behavior, and proposes a theoretically ordered psychological mechanism through which this influence is explained via green psychological climate and green commitment. Methods. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 477 civil servants working in the public sector. The proposed relationships were tested using PROCESS macro-based mediation analysis. Results. Findings indicate that green inclusive leadership positively predicts employee green behavior. Moreover, green psychological climate and green commitment operate as serial mediators, indicating that leadership influences employee green behavior through a hierarchical framework involving shared environmental perceptions and internalized environmental commitment. Conclusions. By integrating social exchange theory and the norm activation model, this study advances a mechanism-based explanation of how sustainability-oriented leadership is associated with employee green behavior. The findings demonstrate that leadership is linked to employees' shared perceptions of an environmentally supportive climate, which co-occurs with higher green commitment and positive employee workplace behavior. The study contributes to the sustainability and organizational behavior literature by empirically demonstrating a theoretically ordered serial mediation mechanism linking leadership, climate perceptions and motivational commitment. The findings also provide practical insights for public-sector managers and policymakers.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148867305","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 preliminary study assessed the impact of temperature on muscle activation and perceived exertion during upper-arm and lower-arm exoskeleton-assisted drilling. Ten participants performed a simulated drilling task under room-temperature (22.3 °C) and hot (33.3 °C) conditions. Muscle activation and perceived exertion were recorded using electromyography and Borg CR-10 scale, respectively. Results showed that temperature significantly influenced muscle activation patterns: the extensor carpi radialis exhibited ∼31% higher activation at room temperature with lower-arm exoskeleton, while the left anterior deltoid showed 9.32% greater activation under hot conditions with upper-arm exoskeleton, and perceived exertion was higher in the hot condition. The findings suggest that the thermal environment influences neuromuscular responses and perceived physical strain during exoskeleton use, underscoring the need to consider temperature in exoskeleton design and implementation.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148799808","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}

Employees' willingness and effort are critical to establishing and maintaining safety climate in healthcare institutions. The current study was conducted to understand nurses' safety motivation and their views on related factors in depth. Methods. This study, conducted using a descriptive phenomenological design, examined nurses' experiences and perceptions regarding safety behavior, factors affecting safety motivation and safety practices. Data were collected from 21 nurses working in public state and training and research hospitals. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the research data. Results. The results were grouped under the categories of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation for interpretation purposes, and two main themes and 11 sub-themes under these main themes were identified: the extrinsic motivation theme included the inadequate workforce, working hours, education and information, procedures and instructions, safety performance indicators, work environment, and the use of protective equipment sub-themes; and the intrinsic motivation theme included the teamwork, senior management's approach, experienced disorders and occupational accidents sub-themes. Conclusion. The study results indicate that nurses' safety motivation is related to workforce planning, education and management policies. However, healthcare managers should adopt approaches aiming to strengthen both intrinsic and extrinsic safety motivation of employees to ensure sustainable safety in healthcare services.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148707916","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 evaluate the impact of occupational safety and health (OSH) services on reducing the urinary heavy-metal burden and preserving respiratory health in construction workers. Methods. A cross-sectional study (n = 60) compared construction workers receiving OSH services (n = 30) with an unprotected cohort (n = 30). Respiratory function was assessed via spirometry. Spot urine samples were analyzed for an 11-element heavy-metal panel using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Results. Unprotected workers exhibited significantly higher urinary concentrations for 10 of 11 analyzed metals (including aluminum, zinc, copper, chromium and manganese; p < 0.05), excluding cadmium. A substantial proportion of the non-OSH cohort approached or exceeded threshold limit values (TLVs). Correlation analyses in the non-OSH group also indicated strong multi-metal co-exposure patterns, suggesting shared occupational sources or overlapping exposure pathways. Within the unprotected group, individuals with abnormal spirometry demonstrated significantly higher cumulative heavy-metal burdens compared to those with normal pulmonary function. Conclusion. Comprehensive OSH services significantly mitigate systemic heavy-metal accumulation and protect respiratory health. These biological findings strongly support policy interventions to expand mandatory OSH coverage to self-employed and informal construction workers, alongside targeted biomonitoring to prevent toxic occupational exposures.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148425164","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}
