“…Bentley et al (2005) state that the accident rate decreased in New Zealand, as well, from 20 accidents per million hours worked in 1999 to 14 accidents in 2001. The decreasing accident rate could relate to improvements to the safety management systems in forestry enterprises and promoting safety programs in the industry [35][36][37]. We observed a similar trend considering the employees of FSR, when both the absolute numbers of OAs and IRC decreased, from 505 OAs in the year 2000 to 62 in the year 2017 and 3.88 IRC in the year 2000 to 1.80 IRC in the year 2017.…”

Temporal patterns in occupational safety and health can shed light on the efficiency of safety measures companies adopt and identify when workers are prone to occupational accidents. We analyzed these patterns to identify the effects of factors such as the share of salvage logging, experience, age, daytime, weekday, and more on the number of occupational accidents at Forests of the Slovak Republic (FSR). We analyzed a database of 2963 occupational accidents and 443 occupational illnesses suffered by FSR employees and contractors. We then analyzed a subset of said database, containing 401 accident records coded according to European Statistics at Work manual. We used regression and correlation analyses and generalized linear models to test the relationship between the accident frequency and volume of harvested timber and volume of salvage logging. We used logistic regression, chi2 tests, and Cramér’s V statistic to test when accidents occur within shifts, weeks, and months. We found the volume of harvested timber significantly affects the frequency of severe and fatal accidents of contractors (R 0.81; p < 0.05), whereas, for employees, the relationship was insignificant. Over time, the number of accidents and incidence rate decreased, and inexperienced or older workers were the most prone to accidents.

“…Mean opinion of each group on safety system position in multilevel management has been shown in Table 6. There is a significant difference among views of people with different educations on health system position in multilevel management of staffs in Shiraz University of medical science 28,29 . Variance analysis test was used to evaluate this hypothesis as shown in Table 7.…”

The present research aimed to evaluate the position of health and safety system in multi-level strategic management of Shiraz University of medical science. This is a co relational-surveying study. Field information was collected via questionnaire. Statistical population consists of all staffs of Shiraz University of medical science (900 individuals). To determine the sample size, Morgan Table was used so 269 individuals were selected by simple random method. To prevent drop out, 320 questionnaires were distributed and collected. As a result, 308 questionnaires were completed. Random sampling was used in the research. The instrument includes researcher-conducted questionnaire for evaluation of position of health and safety in multilevel management. The questionnaire's validity and reliability were confirmed. To analyze data, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Pearson correlation coefficient, one sample T, independent T as well as variance analysis tests and SPSS version 20 were used. Results indicated that the safety system has an improper position in multilevel management of staffs in Shiraz University of medical science in addition; health system has a good position in multilevel management of staffs in Shiraz University of medical science. It is suggested that subjects' related to multilevel management of staffs is considered.

“…There were no studies that directly aimed to quantify the costs of mental health issues in the construction industry, but many noted that mental health was a problem. For instance, Leitão & Greiner (2017) highlighted there was a need for improvement; Yang et al (2017) revealed construction project managers suffered from high levels of job burnout; and Bowen et al (2013b) found that most survey respondents experienced high levels of workplace stress. Employees that are highly stressed or suffering burnout will not be operating at high productivity levels, and will more likely be inefficient and wasteful.…”

Principles of lean construction have been suggested as strategies towards improving health and safety (H&S) in construction. Previous research has typically focused on the physical aspects of H&S; yet individuals who work within the construction industry have an increased risk of suffering from mental health conditions. This is an area which is gaining attention but is yet to be researched in depth. Through a rapid review of literature, this paper identifies 15 studies, and reviews the current literature concerning mental health within the construction industry. Theoretically, results suggest that mental health is a significant problem within the construction industry; and practically, it is recommended that organisations should consider evidence-based suggestions of ways to address this issue through approaches such as alternate work schedules, and the use of validated detection tools. The results of the review revealed that the current literature is limited, both in terms of quantity and research approaches adopted, and therefore, further high-quality studies are required in this area. The principles of lean construction present an opportunity for addressing the issue of poor mental health in the construction industry, thus expanding the application of lean construction beyond addressing merely the physical aspects of H&S issues.
