“…Moreover, as Wu et al (2010b) indicated that information of identity, location and environment could also be integrated into one ZigBee enabled RFID sensor network, this study could further serve as a reference design for future system integrations, in which more functions, such as environment monitoring and real-time location tracking, are considered.…”

“…Recent research outcomes have shown that the information of identity about on-site staff, machine and material is highly related to accident precursors and near-miss accidents on construction sites (Wu et al, 2010b). In the meantime, investigation by Lu et al (2010) also reveals that information which is crucial for safety management, such as labors' IDs, photos, access authorities, time of inspection, access control, personnel who conducts the checking, conditions of the machines, repair work done and so on.…”

“…RFID refers to a branch of automatic identification technologies in which radio frequencies are used to capture and transmit data from a tag, or transponder (Ergen and Akinci, 2007). The potentials and benefits of applying RFID technology in construction site safety have been given much attention but the construction industry is slow in adopting the RFID technology in spite of its great potential (Wu et al, 2010b;Lu et al, 2010).…”

Abstract: Identifying accident precursors using real-time identity information has great potential to improve safety performance in construction industry, which is still suffering from day to day records of accident fatality and injury. Based on the requirements analysis for identifying precursor and the discussion of enabling technology solutions for acquiring and sharing real-time automatic identification information on construction site, this paper proposes an identification system design for proactive accident prevention to improve construction site safety. Firstly, a case study is conducted to analyze the automatic identification requirements for identifying accident precursors in construction site. Results show that it mainly consists of three aspects, namely access control, training and inspection information and operation authority. The system is then designed to fulfill these requirements based on ZigBee enabled Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), RadioFrequency Identification (RFID) technology and an integrated ZigBee RFID sensor network structure. At the same time, an information database is also designed and implemented, which includes 15 tables, 54 queries and several reports and forms. In the end, a demonstration system based on the proposed system design is developed as a proof of concept prototype. The contributions of this study include the requirement analysis and technical design of a real-time identity information tracking solution for proactive accident prevention on construction sites. The technical solution proposed in this paper has a significant importance in improving safety performance on construction sites. Moreover, this study can serve as a reference design for future system integrations where more functions, such as environment monitoring and location tracking, can be added.

“…More recent research has proposed the use of location tracking information and sensors for environment surveillance to detect near misses in dynamic and uncontrolled environments such as on construction sites (Wu et al, 2010). In all the above work, near misses are usually identified as those events that exceed a predefined level of severity.…”

“…Initially limited to the nuclear (Phimister et al, 2004) and aviation industries (NASA, 2006), research on the design of effective NMSs has received much attention in a wide range of industries over the last couple of years (Wu et al, 2010;Gnoni et al, 2013;Andriulo & Gnoni, 2014;Goode et al, 2014), especially in the healthcare industry for improved patient safety (Barach & Small, 2000;Callum et al, 2001;Aspden et al, 2004;Fried, 2009). Most NMSs in use today are proprietary systems designed specifically for the organisation that uses them.…”

Abstract-Digital forensics has been proposed as a methodology for doing root-cause analysis of major software failures for quite a while. Despite this, similar software failures still occur repeatedly. A reason for this is the difficulty of obtaining detailed evidence of software failures. Acquiring such evidence can be challenging, as the relevant data may be lost or corrupt following a software system's crash. This paper proposes the use of near-miss analysis to improve on the collection of evidence for software failures. Near-miss analysis is an incident investigation technique that detects and subsequently analyses indicators of failures. The results of a near-miss analysis investigation are then used to detect an upcoming failure before the failure unfolds. The detection of these indicators -known as near misses -therefore provides an opportunity to proactively collect relevant data that can be used as digital evidence, pertaining to software failures. A Near Miss Management System (NMS) architecture for the forensic investigation of software failures is proposed. The viability of the proposed architecture is demonstrated through a prototype.
