TLDR
To answer this question, a sample of 519 incident records was analyzed to determine whether accident types and frequencies are comparable to elsewhere, and it is found that types are indeed comparable, but the rankings of factors and interventions may not be.About:

Predicting and analyzing injury severity: A machine learning-based approach using class-imbalanced proactive and reactive data
TL;DR: The results reveal that KMSMOTE performs better than others in balancing datasets and therefore, helps in achieving higher prediction in terms of average recall, F1-score and geometric mean, and it is statistically shown that prediction of injury severity is significantly higher using mixed dataset than reactive dataset only.

Accident Causal Factors on the Building Construction Sites: A Review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identified and classified the causative factors of accidents on site cuts across all project participants (clients, consultants, contractors, workers), as well as the construction site environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ranking of Risks for Existing and New Building Works
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper provided a systematic literature review from 1999 to 2019 regarding construction safety, and then study the industry's perspectives by analysing the construction practitioners' interview results, court cases, and analytic hierarchy process survey results to compare them with the literature.

A network-based approach to modeling safety accidents and causations within the context of subway construction project management
TL;DR: This research was beneficial to capturing complex cause-and-effect relationships of accident occurrence at subway construction sites and can provide the opportunities for optimizing safety-related decisions on the elimination of causations and controlling accidents with high efficiency on site.

Exploring the Impact of Unsafe Behaviors on Building Construction Accidents Using a Bayesian Network
TL;DR: This study selects cases from Chinese building construction accidents to explore the probabilistic transmission paths from unsafe behaviors to accidents using a Bayesian network, and shows the time sequence of unsafe behaviors in a chain does not affect the final posterior probability of an accident.

Human error: models and management
TL;DR: The longstanding and widespread tradition of the person approach focuses on the unsafe acts—errors and procedural violations—of people at the sharp end: nurses, physicians, surgeons, anaesthetists, pharmacists, and the like.

Applying the Rasch Model: Fundamental Measurement in the Human Sciences
Trevor G. Bond,Christine M. Fox +1 more
TL;DR: This volume contends that Rasch measurement is the model of choice because it is the closest to realizing the sort of objective fundamental measurement so long revered in the physical sciences.

Thirty years of safety climate research: Reflections and future directions
TL;DR: The time has therefore come for moving to the next phase of scientific inquiry in which constructs are being augmented by testing its relationships with antecedents, moderators and mediators, as well as relationships with other established constructs.

Contributing factors in construction accidents.
Roger Haslam,Sophie Hide,Alistair G.F. Gibb,Diane E. Gyi,Trevor C. Pavitt,Sarah Atkinson,A.R. Duff +6 more
TL;DR: Employing an ergonomics systems approach, a model is proposed, indicating the manner in which originating managerial, design and cultural factors shape the circumstances found in the work place, giving rise to the acts and conditions which, in turn, lead to accidents.
