“…A study by Sanaie Nasab et al showed that the mean score of awareness was significantly related to education level (19) . Yin et al, on the other hand, showed that there was no relationship between education level and safety attitude (22) . Williamson et al maintained that a mere reliance on engineering approaches without improving safety attitudes of the workers or creating an effective safety system surely fails.…”

Background: Health condition of workers affects their productivity. The relationship between general health and safety attitudes is not quite clear. Objective:The present paper is an attempt to examine the relationship of general health condition with safety attitude and demographical specifications of workers at car after-sale services workshops in Ardabil-Iran. Materials and Method:The study was carried out as a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study. The sample group consisted of 650 workers in small car after-sale services workshops located in Ardabil City. Three questionnaires including a demographical form, the General Health questionnaire (GHQ-28), and the safety attitude inventory were used for data gathering. The collected data was analyzed in SPSS19. Results:The mean score of safety attitude was 71.05±2.3 and the mean score of general health was 24.96±3.35. The score of general health had a significant relationship with age group, work experience, marital status, education level, and history of work incident. The mean scores of safety attitude was significantly different depending on age group, work experience, workshop ownership status, marital status, education level, income, and history of work accident. Conclusion:The subjects had a low safety attitudes score and high probability of general heath disorders. General health condition was directly related to safety attitude of the participants. Therefore, providing applied educations based on the workers' needs to increase awareness and improve safety attitudes of workers can lead to a decrease in the rate of work accidents and a higher general health in the workers.

The degree to which an individual is willing to take risks i.e., risk tolerance is often cited as a significant causal element in the majority of workplace accidents. It is essential to determine the risk tolerance level of miners and utilise their risk profiles to design improved training modules, safety, recruitment, and deployment policies. This paper aims to identify the most critical factors (or features) influencing miners’ risk tolerance in the Indian coal industry and develop a robust prediction model to learn their risk tolerance levels. To do end, we first conducted a questionnaire survey representing the complete feature set (with 36 features) among 360 miners and divided their responses into five classes of risk tolerance. Next, we propose a wrapper based hybrid system that combines particle swarm optimization (PSO) and random forest (RF) to train a multi-class classifier with a subset of features. In general, the proposed system selects the best feature subset by iteratively generating different feature combinations using the PSO and training an RF classifier model to assess the effectiveness of the generated feature subsets for the F1-score. At last, we compared the PSO-RF with four traditional classification methods to evaluate its effectiveness in terms of precision, recall, F1-score, accuracy, goodness-of-fit, and area under the curve.
