Novel approach of the integrated work & risk breakdown structure for identifying the hierarchy of fatal incident in construction industry
2021, Journal of Building EngineeringCitation Excerpt :Studies related to WBS and RBS to reduce or eliminate fatal incidents in the construction industry can be summarized as follows: (i) research related analysis of the fatal incident considering project type, and work type; (ii) research related establishment of WBS or RBS to prevent the fatal incident on construction industry; (iii) research related establishment of integrated WBS and RBS. First, fatal incidents considering the project type or the work type have been analyzed [10–13,18–26] [9,13]. Analyzed 2776 accidents involving electrical construction in Spain from 2003 to 2008.
Construction waste recycling robot for nails and screws: Computer vision technology and neural network approach
2019, Automation in ConstructionCitation Excerpt :Being hurt by construction materials can also result in workers having to take time off, medical costs, being maimed and suffering fractures [10]. Construction workers are also facing the risk of stepping on a nail or screw [11], which may cause such serious infection as tetanus. Therefore, recycling nails and screws can reduce the risks of injury on construction sites as well as saving money.
Using network theory to explore the complexit of subway construction accident network (SCAN) for promoting safety management
2014, Safety ScienceCitation Excerpt :The 658 incidents reported were analyzed to determine the general characteristics of incidents and the incident costs. Another study (Niskanen and Saarsalmi, 1983) was to establish the statistical differences in the frequency of accidents, compensation and the seriousness of accidents between different building projects. Pines et al. (1987) conducted the occupational accident statistics in the construction industry of Israel.
Is it possible to influence safety in the building sector?. A literature review extending from 1980 until the present
2012, Safety ScienceCitation Excerpt :A differentiation was made between the types of factors affecting the accident process. Already in the 1980s research done in Finland correlated process disturbance and accidents (Niskanen and Saarsalmi, 1983). Process disturbances may be an indication of material flow or machinery disruptions during the construction process or of design adaptations that are only announced during construction.
