This study examined fatal machinery crushing accidents in South Korea's manufacturing sector using official government investigation reports, identifying phase-specific vulnerability patterns and their policy implications. Methods. Analysis included 272 fatal accident reports (2016-2019) systematically coded through Reason's Swiss cheese model framework and interaction effect quantification using Cramér's V coefficients. Key variables comprise safeguard status, work phase, enterprise size, lock/tagout (LOTO) compliance and machinery type. Methods encompassed descriptive statistics, χ2 tests and Cramér's V analysis, exposure-adjusted risk ratios and Pareto intervention simulation. Results. Among 132 legally mandated safeguard cases, 87.1% showed non-compliance, with 59.8% occurring during maintenance phases (safeguard-maintenance interaction: V = 0.35, p < 0.001). Small enterprises (<50 employees) accounted for 65% of fatalities despite representing only 40% of manufacturing employment (risk ratio = 2.8, 95% confidence interval [2.1-3.7]). Pareto analysis identified 18 priority machinery types responsible for 82% of fatalities. Conclusion. Maintenance-phase systemic failures predominate through safeguard-procedure misalignment. Targeted interventions - mandatory LOTO audits, small and medium-sized enterprise support programs, priority machinery decommissioning - offer substantial fatality prevention. Findings inform Korean industrial safety policy while contributing phase-specific evidence to global machinery accident prevention.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148254000","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}

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are a major occupational health concern and may affect airport employees due to diverse physical, ergonomic and psychosocial work demands. This systematic review synthesized evidence on WMSD prevalence, associated risk factors, interventions and regulatory gaps across airport occupational groups. Methods. The review followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines and was prospectively registered in the Open Science Framework. Searches of Scopus, PubMed and Web of Science (WoS) identified 3616 records published between 2000 and 2025; 39 studies met the inclusion criteria. Results. Baggage handlers were the most frequently studied group, while many airport occupations remain under-researched. The lower back, shoulders and neck were the most commonly affected body regions, with prevalence varying across occupational groups and tasks. Physical and ergonomic exposures were the most consistently reported risk factors, while psychosocial, organizational and individual factors were also associated with WMSDs. Reported interventions were limited and focused mainly on ergonomic adjustments, training and organizational strategies, with little evidence of effectiveness. Conclusions. WMSDs are a significant occupational health concern in airport environments, highlighting the need for stronger preventive strategies and more tailored regulatory and policy frameworks.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148240320","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 quasi-experimental study (2022-2023) randomly assigned 109 workers were to experimental (n = 56) and control (n = 53) groups. The intervention included six 60-min in-person sessions delivered by a researcher and an occupational health expert. Data were collected via an HBM-based questionnaire before and 2 months after the intervention. Statistical analyses included paired t tests, independent t tests and χ2 tests using SPSS version 27. Results. Pre-intervention assessments showed no significant differences between groups (p > 0.05). Post intervention, the experimental group demonstrated significant improvements in all HBM constructs - knowledge, attitudes, perceived susceptibility and severity, perceived benefits and barriers, self-efficacy, guidance for action - as well as PPE-related behavior (p = 0.001).

Cleaning staff face occupational exposure to blood and body fluids (BBFs). Health perception may influence protective behaviors. This study investigated the relationship between health perception and protective behaviors against BBF exposure among cleaning staff at a university hospital. Methods. This cross-sectional study (June-August 2023) included 224 of 251 cleaning staff (89.2%). Data were collected via face-to-face questionnaire, including the health perception scale (HPS), the personal protective equipment (PPE) usage index, post-exposure hand-washing compliance and the infection prevention training index. Group comparisons used χ2, t, analysis of variance, Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests; multivariate binary logistic regression identified predictors of BBF exposure. Results. Each 1-point increase in HPS score was associated with a 3% reduction in exposure odds (p = 0.013). Each additional point in the PPE usage index corresponded to a 22% decrease (p < 0.001). Always washing hands after exposure reduced odds by 56% (p = 0.003), and comprehensive training (index = 2) by 38% (p = 0.003). Gender and years of experience were not significant predictors. Conclusions. Health perception, PPE use, hand hygiene and training are significant independent predictors of reduced BBF exposure. Hospitals should integrate health perception building with comprehensive training, implement tiered PPE certification and conduct regular hand hygiene audits.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148158586","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}

During high-speed train operations, task interruptions often occur due to technical failures or emergencies. These interruptions force the driver's attention to shift and become dispersed, which in turn leads to a decline in driving performance. Methods. In this study, a high-speed train driving task of different complexity was designed within a simulation experiment environment. By simulating interruption events, the mechanisms of task interruptions affect performance were analyzed. The experimental results show that task interruption significantly reduces driving performance, especially in high-complexity driving tasks. Furthermore, by monitoring the physiological indicators of the drivers, we found that irrelevant information during task interruptions caused significant interference with driver attention, accompanied by an increase in cognitive load. Conclusions. The findings support the memory for goals model of interruption and reveal the mechanisms by which task interruptions affect cognitive resources and working memory, which provides a scientific basis for designing effective interruption management strategies in high-speed train operations.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148158650","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 addresses this gap by empirically identifying latent hazard dimensions for women in the Nepalese construction industry. Using a mixed-methods approach, (systematic literature review, expert validation and quantitative survey of 153 respondents), exploratory factor analysis revealed a six-factor hazard structure: gendered workplace culture and discrimination; health and safety challenges; job demands and lack of flexibility; harassment and physical risks; socio-cultural and career barriers; pay and job insecurity. The factors demonstrate strong reliability and validity. Demographic analyses show hazard exposure is socially patterned, with married women, mothers, mid-career professionals, and those in contracting roles reporting higher exposure across specific dimensions. The findings provide a validated hazard structure to inform gender-responsive risk assessment and policy reform in developing construction contexts.","PeriodicalId":47704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148158581","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}
