“…Awareness of workplace hazards is definitely one of the ways to reduce the risk of severe occupational accidents (19)(20)(21). Lack of and inadequate safety and health training for workers and project managers and poor safety climate and culture are already known as accident-associated factors (7), and our study calls for improvement in safety attitude and climate as a result of quality safety and health training (22).…”

Construction industry involves the highest risk of occupational accidents and bodily injuries, which range from mild to very severe. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to identify the factors associated with accident severity rate (ASR) in the largest Iranian construction companies based on data about 500 occupational accidents recorded from 2009 to 2013. We also gathered data on safety and health risk management and training systems. Data were analysed using Pearson's chi-squared coefficient and multiple regression analysis. Median ASR (and the interquartile range) was 107.50 (57.24-381.25). Fourteen of the 24 studied factors stood out as most affecting construction accident severity (p<0.05). These findings can be applied in the design and implementation of a comprehensive safety and health risk management system to reduce ASR.

“…This method was used only for parameter A, that is, “proper use PPEs.” The “green card” system: According to this method, workers recorded and reported their points about unsafe work conditions, near misses, minor accidents, and also their proposed solutions on a single card and dropped it into the available boxes in their workplace. Using the “Green Card” system for reporting near misses, minor incidents, unsafe work conditions, and also providing probable solution was introduced in a previous study [27] . It must be mentioned that both these methods for monitoring and recording rewardable activities had been in use in the company for several years.…”

BackgroundIn comparison with other industries, the construction industry still has a higher rate of fatal injuries, and thus, there is a need to apply new and innovative approaches for preventing accidents and promoting safe conditions at construction sites.MethodsIn this study, the effectiveness of a new incentive system—the surprising incentive system—was assessed. One year after the implementation of this new incentive system, behavioral changes of employees with respect to seven types of activities were observed.ResultsThe results of this study showed that there is a significant relationship between the new incentive system and the safety performance of frontline employees. The new incentive system had a greater positive impact in the first 6 months since its implementation. In the long term, however, safety performance experienced a gradual reduction. Based on previous studies, all activities selected in this study are important indicators of the safety conditions at workplaces. However, there is a need for a comprehensive and simple-to-apply tool for assessing frontline employees' safety performance. Shortening the intervals between incentives is more effective in promoting safety performance.ConclusionThe results of this study proved that the surprising incentive would improve the employees' safety performance just in the short term because the surprising value of the incentives dwindle over time. For this reason and to maintain the surprising value of the incentive system, the amount and types of incentives need to be evaluated and modified annually or biannually.

“…More than 80% of occupational accidents are ascribed to workers' unsafe behaviors [6]. Unsafe behavior refers to any behavior engaged in by a worker without considering the safety rules, standards, procedures and instructions that can negatively affect the workplace, the worker himself or his coworkers [7]. Safety performance is a more comprehensive term than safety behavior and includes any activity from workers that can promote safety in the organization.…”

Purpose. This study aimed to analyze causal relationships among safety climate dimensions, safety performance dimensions and occupational accidents for nurses working in hospitals. Methods. Data were gathered from questionnaires filled in by nurses from three public hospitals. To analyze interactions among variables, a Bayesian network (BN) analysis was conducted. Using the function of BN 'belief updating', variables with the highest influences on occupational accidents were determined. Results. A total of 211 nurses participated in this study. They were mainly female and married. The results showed that 39.3% of nurses experienced occupational accidents during the last 12 months before the study. Less than half of the nurses had an acceptable safety performance. Safety participation had the highest influence on occupational accidents, followed by safety compliance. Reporting of errors had the highest score among the safety climate dimensions. Training of nurses was necessary for improving both safety compliance and safety participation, and thereby reducing occupational accidents. Conclusion. The effect of safety participation on occupational accidents among nurses was higher than that of safety compliance. Among the safety climate dimensions, supervisors' attitude to safety and safety training had the highest effects on both nurses' safety performance and occupational accidents.
