NMAC reports collected by safety reporting systems have long been used to study and mitigate midair collision risk. However, reports submitted are subjective and require the reporter to voluntarily provide this information. With the implementation of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast, aircraft temporal and positional data are easily collectible. <em>Method:</em> Using internal safety system, NASA Aviation Safety Reporting System, and FAA Near Midair Collision System reports together with ADS-B data, the effectiveness of different safety reporting systems to collect NMAC data around a towered university airport were compared over a six-month period. Unreported events were identified by utilizing ADS-B data to calculate aircraft separation events of less than 500 feet. <em>Results:</em> While 10 events were reported to the internal safety system, only one was reported to the NASA ASRS, and none to the FAA NMACS within the study’s scope. Sixteen events in which aircraft were within 500 feet of each other were found using ADS-B data, with none of these events having been reported to any safety reporting system. <em>Conclusions</em>: The findings of this study highlight the need for increased sharing in aviation safety data and show the potential of ADS-B data as a tool in studying near midair collisions and midair collision risk. <em>Practical Applications:</em> NMAC safety reporting systems may be less effective than expected. The addition of other sources of data such as ADS-B may be necessary to identify and investigate NMACs and other relevant near miss safety events.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Safety Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142232513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whether used as a target, a vision, or a journey, zero has its supporters and its critics, and remains popular among construction companies across the world. <em>Method:</em> A critical discussion sets out a number of theoretical considerations of zero, supplemented by statistical analysis of the U.S. SIF incident data for the period 2018–2022, evaluating companies that use zero and those that do not. This work mirrors that previously undertaken in the UK. <em>Results:</em> Cross referencing SIF incidents and firms using zero within their safety management revealed that overall, firms using zero had fewer incidents that firms that were not. However, when the data were examined statistically, no difference in the Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIF) outcomes between the zero and non-zero companies was determined. The data therefore are equivocal: it does not prove that zero does not work, but nor does it evidence that it does. <em>Conclusions:</em> Zero remains problematic for occupational safety management. The empirical data from the United States do not evidence any clear success from the use of zero in practice, as was also the case in the equivalent UK dataset. Various debates remain around the use of zero, yet there are potential alternatives already emerging within safety management that may mean it naturally fades from the safety lexicon in the future. <em>Practical Applications:</em> This work adds to the theoretical debates around zero, providing food for thought for safety practitioners around the use of zero in the field.

Many studies have studied young adult drivers’ risk-taking behaviors under manual driving conditions. However, limited studies have examined novice young adult drivers’ fatigue during driving.

Studying novice young adult driver fatigue development under automated driving could provide a better understanding of the young adult driver’s crash factors, and in turn, prevent the accidents.

The paper investigates the effectiveness of the intervention in reducing low back pain after work. Methods: 83 workers across 28 workteams in a biotech organization were recruited. Workteams were randomly allocated to receive the intervention or work as usual (control). Intervention workteams implemented the Goldilocks Work planning tool to organize their work tasks towards a predefined ‘just right’ ergonomic balance (i.e., composition of 60% sitting, 30% standing, 10% active work and hourly task alternation). The primary outcome was low back pain intensity. Secondary outcomes were bodily pain, fatigue, physical exertion, productivity and energy after work measured in the survey, and composition and alternations of physical behaviors measured using wearable sensors. <em>Results:</em> The intervention was delivered almost as planned, with good quality and high adherence among most workteams.
