“…Furthermore, a series of FGDs were carried out to discuss the social, economic, cultural, and public health factors around the oil and gas fields. Participants of varying backgrounds and roles in the community, namely informal community leaders, sectoral institutions, and village governments, were invited to participate in these FGDs to enrich the discussions with their different opinions (Asmone et al, 2022).…”

This research is a social study by capturing several problems in the oil and gas sector combined with literature studies that have relevant themes. This study aims to determine the social, economic, cultural and health impacts of the oil and gas company's exploration activities in the Tuban Oil and Gas Field. Data collection was in the form of primary data and secondary data in semester II of 2018. The methods used in this study were qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitative methods taken from primary data, namely observation and interviews. Primary data were obtained through direct observation and interviews with respondents selected by purposive sampling. The quantitative method uses secondary data obtained from research documents and reports relating to government agencies and companies. Primary data and secondary data were combined and then conducted interviews to obtain deeper information using the forum group discussion (FGD) method. The final data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. The results of the study show that there are jobs for local workers, but the information is still not transparent and most of the jobs are temporary projects. Most people know and feel the benefits of the presence of oil and gas companies in their area. The community expects the company's attention to reduce people's concerns about oil and gas activities. Conflicts often occur due to delays in the disbursement of compensation funds and the implementation of CSR, as well as several oil and gas company activities that have a direct impact on the community. The company's efforts to boost the local economy by increasing employment opportunities and increasing wage rates. Meanwhile, in terms of public health, it cannot be determined with certainty whether there is a correlation between disease and the activities of oil and gas companies. In general, oil and gas companies have a positive impact on the community around the working areas of oil and gas companies.

“…In this sense, the prevention of health and safety at work acts on unsafe physical conditions and technical factors, in the prevention of unexpected events [18,32]. But despite the technical issues, the causes related to the culture of unsafe human behavior, personality traits and impulsiveness must be addressed, which interfere in the dynamics of occupational accidents [5,9,33].…”

“…Therefore, considering all the factors involved in the genesis of accidents and in reducing harm, it is necessary to invest in knowledge, development of certified modern technologies and skills to handle the challenges in addressing the central issues in the modern world of work [17]. In this confrontation it is necessary to employ strategies that prioritize improving competence and knowledge; employing technological tools; investing in verifications and audits; and obtaining recognition and certification to help design and implement appropriate barriers that prevent the propagation of unexpected events, facilitated by the failure of managers and workers to watch out for their own safety or by the misinterpretation of rules that should value not only mistakes, but also successes within the variability of daily performance in complex work systems [18,19].…”

Introduction: We report here a series of ten rare cases of work accidents that occurred in five Brazilian companies using the Computerized Evaluation of Work Readiness (FOCOS/Prontos System), aiming to assess the correlation between instrument performance and factors influencing the accidents. Materials and Methods: Before joining the company, employees access the system with a login and password, and in less than a minute, they perform the test, which consists of identifying pre-known figures as correct or incorrect. The test assesses impulse control (the ability to avoid errors by touching during the evaluation), attention (discriminating the figure that represents the correct stimulus in the test and reacting as quickly as possible by touching the screen every time it appears), and reaction time (speed to react to the correct stimulus by touching the screen). The test result is immediately released after its completion. The test result contributes to work clearance, referral for medical or psychological evaluation, or activity suspension. Results: The ten cases occurred in 2022 and early 2023, equally distributed across morning, afternoon, and night shifts. In the 300 readiness evaluations, 218 alterations associated with impulse control (66), attention (39), reaction time (40), concentration (27), and risk predictor (46) were identified. The average deviation level was 80.1±22.62%, ranging from 27% to 100%, with a median of 88.5%. The main reasons for reporting deviations were falls from heights (leading to death), improper activity performed in restricted areas (leading to death), collisions with heavy vehicles (6 cases), upper limb injuries (1), and fire (1). Two fatalities occurred. Conclusion: The Computerized Test for Readiness Evaluation (FOCOS/Prontos System) as a risk assessment tool identified alterations in readiness parameters in 100% of the workers involved in the analyzed cases, demonstrating its predictive capacity in identifying accident risks.

“…This approach, commonly known as Construction Hazard Prevention through Design (CHPtD), involves a collaborative effort between construction and design professionals to select safer design solutions with consideration for the safety of field workers [55][56][57]. On the basis of evidence linking poor design choices and safety incidents, many nations are requiring the consideration of safety during design through legislative reforms [58][59][60][61][62].…”

Leveraging ChatGPT to Aid Construction Hazard Recognition and Support Safety Education and Training

et al. 2023

Proper hazard recognition is fundamental to effective safety management in construction workplaces. Nevertheless, poor hazard recognition levels are a widespread and persistent problem in the construction industry. For example, recent investigations have demonstrated that a significant number of workplace hazards often remain unrecognized in construction workplaces. These unrecognized workplace hazards often remain unmanaged and can potentially translate into devastating and unexpected safety incidents. Therefore, interventions targeted at improving hazard recognition levels are foundational to enhancing safety management in construction workplaces. The main objective of the current investigation was to examine if ChatGPT, a language model recently launched by OpenAI, can aid hazard recognition when integrated into the curriculum of students pursuing a career in the construction industry. The investigation was carried out as an experimental effort with 42 students enrolled in the construction program at a major state university in the United States. First, prior to the introduction of ChatGPT as an intervention, the pre-intervention hazard recognition ability of the students was measured. Next, ChatGPT and its capabilities were introduced to the students in a classroom setting. Guidance was also offered on how the students could leverage ChatGPT to aid hazard recognition efforts. Finally, the post-intervention hazard recognition ability of the students was measured and compared against their earlier performance. The result suggests that ChatGPT can be leveraged to improve hazard recognition levels. Accordingly, integrating ChatGPT as part of safety education and training can yield benefits and prepare the next generation of construction professionals for industry success.
