TL;DR: A mixed-methods research approach was used to identify and define elements of the safety management process that can be measured and monitored during the construction phase, and to describe resource requirements for measurement, monitoring, and response, and specific management actions required when any indicator fails to satisfy a desired value.

TL;DR: A two-year research effort to develop a high-fidelity augmented virtual environment that helps develop workers’ hazard recognition skill through risk-free learning and immediate feedback andembed cognitive retrieval mnemonics to improve long-term retention of cues.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify three necessary components of innovation: idea generation, opportunity and diffusion, and apply a variety of practices to optimize each component including support and commitment from the owner/client and firm upper management, workforce and project team integration and diversity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present research that involved the holistic quantification of risks for the activities associated with the construction of concrete formwork, identifying the activities required to construct concrete forms, selecting an appropriate all-inclusive and mutually exclusive risk classification system, and quantifying the average frequency and severity levels for each risk classification associated with each activity.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive list of construction-safety strategies from relevant literature and supplementing it with input from an expert panel is presented, with interviews with representatives from 57 projects in the United States to determine which strategies were implemented on each project.
