“…Construction workers are at high risk of musculoskeletal disorders and injuries (MSDIs) as well as for continued problems after initial treatment of these problems [Lipscomb et al, ; Welch et al, ; Reid et al, ; Schoonover et al, ; Welch et al, ; Spector et al, 2011; CPWR, 2013]. Numerous aspects of the work they do, as well as the manner in which the work is organized, place them at risk and make them challenging to follow adequately over time.…”

“…Second, for the construction industry, researchers have concentrated on deriving and calculating the fatality loss [39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50]. Allison et al [39] quantified the cost of accidents in the Australian construction industry from the perspectives of employers, workers, and the government, taking into account the production disturbance costs, human capital costs, and medical costs.…”

The number of fatalities in the construction industry is highest among all industries; thus, various losses in the form of fatalities in construction represent a significant factor for safety management. If a fatality occurs, it is important to estimate the overall loss, as a significant financial loss occurs for each project participant. However, in studies of the cost of accidents involving a fatality conducted abroad, the framework cannot be applied as it is because insurance types, systems, and legal cost systems differ by country. Therefore, we developed a framework for calculating the fatality loss considering various aspects of labor, industry, and regulations in Korea. This was done in four steps: (i) data collection and criteria selection; (ii) proposed framework development; (iii) conduct of questionnaire surveys for the case study; and (iv) analysis and evaluation of the case study. As a result of the data analysis after the case study of general construction companies, the total fatality loss was estimated to be 2,198,260 USD/person. The contributions of this study are the development of a framework composed of newly discovered items that can acquire reliable data in consideration of the properties of the construction industry.

“…There are many job practices in the realm of agriculture mechanics which intersect with practices in the construction industry (e.g., use of power tools, metal fabrication, etc.). Schoonover, Bonauto, Silverstein, Adams, and Clark (2010) noted these industries were particularly dangerous because workers lack the appropriate safety training. Furthermore, Pinto, Nunes, and Ribeiro (2011) indicated a lack of occupational risk assessment (ORA) and safety culture among future employees in these industries.…”

A pressing concern in all agricultural mechanics courses is safety. Lab activities have an inherent propensity to cause serious injury. The safety practices which are taught by teachers are largely dependent on the equipment in the laboratory and the resources available to the program. Various researchers have indicated that problems have existed in the safety instruction of agricultural mechanics for some time. This study sought to determine how safety is taught, what equipment instructors use and attitudes towards teaching safety of agricultural mechanics teachers. The majority of instructors were certified in first aid and felt confident to use that training in the event of an emergency. The average teacher was found to teach high enrollment labs and furnished at no cost to the student eye protection in the form of safety glasses with side shields. It was found that teachers agreed that safety instruction in the lab was important, especially involving power tools, electricity, and industrial quality eye protection. Agricultural programs should be evaluated regularly for inadequate conditions that may exist in facilities, equipment, and safety. Additional research is needed targeting what barriers potentially exist with teachers using recommended safety practices in the instruction of agricultural mechanics.
