Safety climate in construction site environments

Sherif Ali Mohtady Mohamed
- 13 Sep 2002 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, an empirical research aimed at examining the relationship between the safety climate and safe work behavior in construction site environments has been conducted and the results corroborate the importance of the role of management commitment, communication, workers involvement, attitudes, competence, as well as supportive and supervisory environments, in achieving a positive safety climate.

Computer vision techniques for construction safety and health monitoring

Joonoh Seo, +3 more
- 01 Apr 2015 - 
TL;DR: This paper categorizes previous studies into three groups-object detection, object tracking, and action recognition-based on types of information required to evaluate unsafe conditions and acts, and provides researchers insights into advancing knowledge and techniques for computer vision-based safety and health monitoring.

Improving construction site safety through leader-based verbal safety communication

Pete Kines, +5 more
- 01 Oct 2010 - 
TL;DR: Coaching construction site foremen to include safety in their daily verbal exchanges with workers has a significantly positive and lasting effect on the level of safety, which is a proximal estimate for work-related accidents.

Heikki Laitinen, +1 more
- 01 Oct 1996 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a new method for weekly inspections, based on participation and the principles of performance management, was tested at two construction sites in Finland, and the safety index rose from the baseline of 60% to 89% during the feedback at Site 1.

Q1. What contributions have the authors mentioned in the paper "Study and analysis of the obligations and responsibilities of the promoter figure in the construction sector in 22 countries" ?

This study is the first systematic analysis of the work carried out by the promoters in the building sector at international level and its relationship with prevention. To this end, it has aimed to know the problems in the integration of prevention by promoters as a key element in preventive integration, performing two analyzes: one qualitative, where it has aimed to know the status on the figure of the promoter on preventive ( centered this article in the UK ) and a second quantitative analysis which analyzed the results of the implementation of a management methodology by the developer as an integrating figure prevention throughout the various phases of the construction process, especially in the implementation phase.
