“…However, such a selection cannot be considered exhaustive and further investigation on the systematic use of other HRA tools in the PHSA procedure should be carried out to provide a more comprehensive analysis. Accordingly, the use of quantitative risk analysis models can provide better understandings of risk-related activities [80].…”

Occupational safety in the construction industry still represents a relevant problem at a global level. In fact, the complexity of working activities in this sector requires a comprehensive approach that goes beyond normative compliance to guarantee safer working conditions. In particular, empirical research on the factors influencing the unsafe behavior of workers needs to be augmented. Thus, the relationship between human factors and safety management issues following a bottom-up approach was investigated. In particular, an easy-to-use procedure that can be used to better address workers’ safety needs augmenting the company’s safety climate and supporting safety management issues was developed. Such an approach, based on the assessment of human reliability factors, was verified in a real case study concerning the users of concrete mixer trucks. The results showed that the majority of human failures were action and retrieval errors, underlining the importance of theoretical and practical training programs as a means to improve safety behavior. In such a context, information and communication activities also resulted beneficially to augment the company’s safety climate. The proposed approach, despite its qualitative nature, allows a clearer understanding of workers’ perceptions of hazards and their risk-taking behavior, providing practical cues to monitor and improve the behavioral aspects of safety climate. Hence, these first results can contribute to augmenting safety knowledge in the construction industry, providing a basis for further investigations on the causalities related to human performances, which are considered a key element in the prevention of accidents.

“…Moreover, although the proposed approach is based on the requirements of the Italian legislation, its general framework could be extended to other national contexts easily. As a matter of fact, the preliminary characterization of exposure levels scenarios allows safety managers to better define the potential damage and the evolution of hazard’s scenarios [88], supporting both the entrepreneur and the appointed physicians in effectively perform the workers’ health surveillance (WHS) that is mandatory in an OHS context in the EU countries [89].…”

The Safe Use of Pesticides: A Risk Assessment Procedure for the Enhancement of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Management

The attention paid to the use of pesticides has increased notably in recent years as demonstrated by the issue of laws and regulations requiring their safe and environmentally-conscious use (e.g. Directive 2009/128/EC and Regulation (EC) no. 1272/2008). Despite the benefits that can be achieved by pursuing the targets of stricter legislative framework, the difficulties for farmers in complying with it are remarkable, especially for small-sized companies. In fact, in contrast to other occupational health and safety (OHS) contexts, in the case of pesticides even a preliminary analysis on the relationship between pesticide use and the consequent exposure risks for the workers is a complex task. In order to reduce the above-mentioned gap, the present study is focused on the development of an easy-to-use tool for carrying out occupational risk assessment of agricultural activities related to the use of pesticides. The procedure was developed by starting from the Agricultural Health Study (AHS) approach and its improvements, and continuing to the thorough development of a tool for preliminary risk assessment, providing a simplified model for its practical application by farmers. A case study concerning olive cultivation was used for its first verification. The results achieved should be considered as an initial step for the promotion of safer practices when using pesticides, providing a consistent base for their further validation.

A vital component of any type of organization for the prevention of incidental events and/or voluntary\ud attacks against people and tangible and intangible assets as well as for their protection when incidental\ud events and/or voluntary attacks happen is represented by safety and security management. Because of the\ud incessant development of new dangers and threats, safety and security management requests unceasing\ud updating, by means of powerful and flexible tools, such as BIM, which must be integrated via a multidisciplinary\ud approach, considering also economic features that must optimized from the cost/benefit point\ud of view. Integrated technological systems represent efficient tools to create solutions than can support\ud safety and security management in a competent manner, considering also budgets optimization. For this\ud reason, it is necessary to utilize a wide-range approach which, thanks to its flexibility, allows for the\ud realization of an integrated multidisciplinary model for safety and security management (IMMSSM)\ud which can be supported by a suitable Integrated Technological System Framework (ITSF), even based\ud on Internet of Everything (IoE). To achieve an operative IMMSSM, it is necessary to optimize the\ud available tools from the cost/benefit point of view. This goal represents a difficult challenge because, in\ud general, restricted funds are available. From this point of view, efficient and flexible tools, such as BIM,\ud represent vital elements to obtain solutions characterized by an optimal cost/benefit ratio. The purpose\ud of this paper is to illustrate the role of BIM for safety and security management, showing its peculiar\ud features from this point of view and its versatility both for the realization of resourceful IMMSSM and\ud related ITSF, even based on Io
