This study aims to identify the effect of driving stress on the pathway from risk perception to self-regulation among older drivers. <em>Methods:</em> An online survey was conducted from February to April 2024, collecting data on demographics, driving behaviors, safety perceptions, and stress levels. The sample included 223 respondents aged 65 or older with valid driver’s licenses. A structural equation model was constructed using the following latent variables: driving stress and self-regulation, along with independent variables identified through prior research and model diagnostics. <em>Results:</em> Being female, having experienced a crash or near-crash experience, and reporting lower self-assessments of safe driving were associated with higher levels of driving stress, which, in turn, was associated with a greater intention to adopt self-regulation and slower driving speeds. While being female was directly associated with an intention to adopt self-regulation and slower speeds, other variables were not. Increased driving stress was more strongly associated with self-regulation for avoiding interactions (β = 0.45) (e.g., during rush hour) than for avoiding adverse environments (β = 0.33), such as nighttime driving. <em>Conclusions:</em> Lower self-assessments of driving ability and crash experiences were not directly associated with the adoption of self-regulation, but the mediating effect of driving stress was observed. Meanwhile, older women reported higher driving stress and greater self-regulation, potentially contributing to premature driving cessation. <em>Practical Applications:</em> Driving self-regulation can enhance road safety for older drivers when declines in driving ability are met with appropriate self-regulation. Driving stress may serve as an indicator of self-awareness regarding driving competence. Educational interventions and targeted communications that promote self-awareness may play an essential role in supporting safe mobility for older adults.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Safety Research","volume":"95 ","pages":"Pages 67-75"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145105755","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}

Concurrently, temporary works such as scaffolding, formwork support, and tower cranes are frequently overlooked during planning and design. However, these temporary works are crucial in influencing decisions related to risk assessment, cost management, project scheduling, and construction methods. There is a pressing need for more comprehensive written regulations and statutory guidelines to effectively manage temporary engineering works. <em>Method:</em> This research draws on international standards, including the Code of Practice for Temporary Works Procedures and the UK’s Construction Design and Management Regulations, as well as resources from the Temporary Works Forum of the International Temporary Works Association. By systematically analyzing key policies and reviewing the practices of international construction companies, the study seeks to identify the most critical risk factors using a robust risk analysis framework. The research focuses on temporary works during the planning, construction, and dismantling phases, addressing twenty-three major risk factors. To achieve this, the study employs a Risk Breakdown Structure (RBS), utilizes Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) questionnaires, and conducts a Risk Impact and Frequency Analysis (RIFA) based on Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA). Collaborating with technical departments from international engineering firms, the research evaluates the effectiveness of risk management in Taiwan’s construction sector. Field surveys were conducted across 25 construction projects, involving 152 experienced on-site project managers who provided valuable insights. <em>Results:</em> The findings help pinpoint and prioritize key risk factors within the temporary works cycle. In-depth interviews with senior executives provide a detailed analysis of the current allocation of risk management resources and propose effective risk mitigation strategies. <em>Practical Applications:</em> This research establishes management standards for temporary works, recommending enhanced safety practices, continuous workforce training, and improved risk communication to deliver substantial benefits across the construction industry.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Safety Research","volume":"95 ","pages":"Pages 545-568"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145670307","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}
