Prolonged sitting is now recognized as a major health risk for office workers and is a common target for workplace health interventions that encourage movement. The purpose of this scoping review is to identify and describe sensors that can be used to design responsive interventions targeting prolonged sitting and to evaluate them objectively. Methods. PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and IEEE databases were searched. A total of 8520 articles were identified and screened for inclusion. A large language model tool was used to extract predefined data fields that were confirmed by the authors. Results. A total of 282 sensors were used in the 197 articles that met the inclusion criteria. The majority of these were accelerometer-based wearables; activPAL (n = 118) and ActiGraph (n = 60). Custom-made prototypes (n = 25) and non-wearable devices (n = 14) that measure behavioural variables (e.g., sitting and standing time, stepping, activity intensity and ergonomics) were identified. Conclusions. These findings highlight the dependence of most studies on accelerometer-based wearable sensors with their well-known characteristics. The use of non-wearable and emerging prototype sensors remains limited but offers potential advantages to the future studies. Relevant sensor considerations include user experience, cost, scalability and privacy concerns to facilitate broader adoption.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148388017","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}

Recent research on the influence of temporal factors on the safety behavior of new-generation construction workers remains limited. To investigate the impact mechanism of temporal leadership on the safety behavior of new-generation construction workers and effectively reduce the incidence of safety accidents, this study was conducted with a sample of more than 400 new-generation construction workers. Methods. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used to empirically test the chain mechanism linking temporal leadership to the safety behavior of new-generation of construction workers, as well as the moderating effect of perceived work meaning. Results. This study found that temporal leadership exerts a direct and positive impact on the safety behavior of new-generation construction workers; that job stress and work-family balance play a mediating role in this relationship; and that perceived work meaning moderates the negative relationship between temporal leadership and job stress. Specifically, the stress-buffering effect of temporal leadership is more pronounced when workers perceive lower levels of work meaning. Conclusion. These findings provide theoretical and practical significance for understanding how temporal leadership influences the safety behavior of new-generation construction workers.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148388099","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}

Pneumoconiosis is a concerning occupational health hazard in dentistry. This cross-sectional study aimed to estimate the prevalence of pneumoconiosis and its association with age, gender, type of dental profession and duration of exposure among dental healthcare professionals (DHCPs). Methods. The study enrolled 138 DHCPs from an Indian tertiary care dental teaching institution who underwent structured face-to-face interviews, clinical examination, spirometry and chest radiography interpreted using International Labour Organization (ILO) classification. Potential pneumoconiosis was defined based on occupational exposure, clinico-spirometric examination and radiological findings consistent with pneumoconiosis (ILO category ≥ 1/0). The χ2 test was applied to examine association of demographic-occupational characteristics with clinical symptoms, spirometric findings, radiologic findings and pneumoconiosis occurrence. Results. The prevalence of pneumoconiosis was 3.6%, with 4.3% of subjects showing radiographic opacities. Spirometry results showed a restrictive pattern in 13.8% of participants. The frequency of potential pneumoconiosis based on clinical symptoms and radiological findings was significantly associated with age > 35 years (particularly among dental technicians) and duration of exposure > 20 years, respectively. Conclusions. Increased susceptibility of DHCPs, especially dental technicians, towards pneumoconiosis highlights the importance of adoption of stringent occupational health and safety precautions, and regular clinico-radiographic screening for timely detection of pneumoconiosis.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148387986","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 results showed that OHS safety culture positively affected safety performance, whereas awareness, training, and risk perception did not have significant individual effects. Risk perception increased fatalistic tendencies, whereas free will beliefs positively predicted safety performance. Fatalistic beliefs were not significant predictors, suggesting that formal safety regulations and mandatory procedures in the machinery sector may limit their behavioral effects. These findings underline the joint role of organizational culture and personal belief systems in shaping workplace safety. The study contributes to safety research in a high-risk sector and offers practical implications for managers and policymakers.

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of nursing risk management target cards on patient safety in the intensive care unit (ICU), focusing on nurses' risk perceptions and safety behaviors. Methods. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design with a single-group pre-test/post-test (no control group) was used. A 3-month nursing risk management target card intervention was implemented to support proactive risk identification, warning and intervention. Quantitative data were collected using the adverse events risk perception scale among clinical nurses (AERPS) and nurse safety behavior questionnaire (NSBQ), both with established reliability. Differences were analyzed via the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Qualitative data from four focus group interviews (35 participants) were analyzed using content analysis. Results. A total of 115 ICU nurses participated. Significant improvements were observed in the total AERPS scores (Z = 3.551, p < 0.001, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.189, 0.546]) and NSBQ scores (Z = 2.769, p = 0.006, 95% CI [0.1, 0.491]) post intervention. Three qualitative themes emerged: early identification, early warning and early intervention; development of a nursing risk mindset; and improved nursing risk management skills. Conclusion.

Manual dexterity was assessed using the nine-hole peg test (NHPT). Results. Key, tip and palmar pinch strengths did not differ significantly across postures (p > 0.05). However, NHPT completion times differed significantly by posture (p < 0.001), with faster performance in the standing posture than in both sitting postures. Women demonstrated lower pinch strength, while men showed poorer manual dexterity performance (p < 0.001). Pinch strengths differed significantly according to sports experience (p < 0.001), whereas NHPT performance was unaffected by these variables (p > 0.05). Conclusions. These findings suggest that for individuals in occupations requiring pinch strength, either a sitting or a standing posture may be functionally appropriate, as no difference in pinch strength was observed between the three postures.
