Research outputs 2022 to 2026

COVID-19 had a significant impact on construction projects due to labor shortages and COVID-19 restrictions, yet little is known about the impact it had on construction safety. To address this gap, an Australian construction project was selected to study the impact of COVID-19 on safety performance, safety climate and safety leadership. The study collected data from safety climate surveys, leading and lagging safety indicators and used linear regression to compare safety performance pre and post the onset of COVID-19. Our results showed after the onset of COVID-19 there was a significant reduction (Pr > F at 0.05 %) in incident rate, …

Automated Approach For The Enhancement Of Scaffolding Structure Monitoring With Strain Sensor Data, Sayan Sakhakarmi

UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones

Construction researchers have made a significant effort to improve the safety of scaffolding structures, as a large proportion of workers are involved in construction activities requiring scaffolds. However, most past studies focused on design and planning aspects of scaffolds. While limited studies investigated scaffolding safety during construction, they are limited to simple cases only with limited failure modes and simple scaffolds. In response to this limitation, this study aims to develop an automated scaffold monitoring approach capable of monitoring large scaffolds. Accordingly, this study developed an automated scaffold safety monitoring framework that leverages sensor data collected from a scaffold, scaffold …

Fear And Trembling While Working In A Pandemic: An Exploratory Meta-Analysis Of Workers’ Covid-19 Distress, William P. Jimenez, Ian M. Katz, Elissa A. Liguori

Psychology Faculty Publications

The global COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the lives of workers and taken its toll on health and well-being. In line with recent calls for more inductive and abductive occupational health science research, we exploratorily meta-analyzed workers’ COVID-19 distress, defined as psychological and psychosomatic strain contextualized to experiencing the virus and pandemic broadly. We identified many existing COVID-19 distress measures (e.g., Fear of COVID-19 Scale by Ahorsu et al., 2020; Coronavirus Anxiety Scale by Lee, 2020a) and correlates, including demographic variables (viz., gender, marital status, whether worker has children), positive well-being (e.g., quality of life, perceived social support, resilience), negative well-being …

Effet De La Perte Auditive Et Du Port De Protecteurs Auditifs Sur La Perception Et La Localisation Auditive Des Alarmes De Recul, Véronique Vaillancourt, Chantal Laroche, Christian Giguère, Hugues Nélisse

Rapports de recherche scientifique

Chaque année, des travailleurs se font heurter par un véhicule qui manœuvre en marche arrière. Certaines caractéristiques des alarmes de recul conventionnellement utilisées en milieu de travail (alarmes tonales « bip-bip ») compromettent leur performance à avertir adéquatement les travailleurs de l’approche d’un véhicule, du moins comparativement aux plus récentes alarmes à large bande (« pshit-pshit »). On cite trois principaux désavantages de l’alarme tonale, soit une plus grande difficulté à localiser la provenance du signal sonore dans l’espace, un patron de propagation sonore irrégulier derrière le véhicule lourd, ainsi qu’une nuisance sonore (ou pollution sonore) accrue.

Mise Au Point Et Validation D’Une Approche Terrain De Prédiction Des Chargements Au Dos Basée Sur Des Données De Laboratoire, Alain Delisle, François Thénault, André Plamondon, Hakim Mecheri

Rapports de recherche scientifique

Les troubles musculosquelettiques (TMS) et particulièrement ceux au bas du dos affectent de nombreux travailleuses et travailleurs chaque année au Québec (Vézina et al., 2011). Le chargement mécanique au bas dos est reconnu comme un facteur de risque pouvant mener au développement de maux de dos, et la manutention de charges peut occasionner des chargements importants et répétés. La façon habituelle de quantifier le chargement au dos des individus est d’estimer le moment qui s’exerce à l’articulation lombo-sacrée (L5/S1). L’estimation de ce moment se fait généralement en laboratoire et nécessite la connaissance de la position et de l’orientation de …
