INTRODUCTION Previous research has shown that employees who experience high job demands are more inclined to show unsafe behaviors in the workplace. In this paper, we examine why some employees behave safely when faced with these demands while others do not. We add to the literature by incorporating both physical and psychosocial safety climate in the job demands and resources (JD-R) model and ...

Bacteriophages are perceived to be good models for the study of airborne viruses because they are safe to use, some of them display structural features similar to those of human and animal viruses, and they are relatively easy to produce in large quantities. Yet, only a few studies have investigated them as models. It has previously been demonstrated that aerosolization, environmental condition...

BACKGROUND There is evidence that adolescence is a critical period of decline in physical activity. However, adolescents may have limited opportunities to be physically active outdoors if their parents are concerned about neighborhood safety and restrict their adolescent's physical activity within their neighborhood. Pathways that lead to parental restriction of adolescents' physical activity (...

We develop efficient Monte Carlo methods for estimating the failure probability of a system. An example of the problem comes from an approach for probabilistic safety assessment of nuclear power plants known as riskinformed safety-margin characterization, but it also arises in other contexts, e.g., structural reliability, catastrophe modeling, and finance. We estimate the failure probability us...

This study aimed to determine the relationship between competence and work environment with safety behavior in seafarers at PT. ASDP Surabaya independently simultaneously. Respondents were 41 Surabaya, taken using incidental sampling technique. The data analyzed multiple correlation product moment techniques. results of show that there is a competence, environment, direction positive. showed le...

1.. Introduction Recently,, researchers inn reliability have stressedd the needd too incorporate inn a usual safety study the dynamic behaviour of a system andd its influence onn the transitions likely to occur inn ann accidental transient.. This feedbackk is quantifiedd by the pr obability densities of being inn a givenn state at a givenn time,, withh givenn values of the phy sical variables.....

a chromium electroplating bath with the ability to produce homogenous mist was used to evaluate parameters influencing hexavalent chromium (cr+6) mist sampling methods. the results of 48 cr+6mist samples collected using the u.s. national institute for occupational safety and health method 7600showed that cr+6concentration was higher: (1) for sampling by closed-face filter cassettes than for sam...

PROBLEM Safety climate refers to the degree to which employees believe true priority is given to organizational safety performance, and its measurement is thought to provide an "early warning" of potential safety system failure(s). However, researchers have struggled over the last 25 years to find empirical evidence to demonstrate actual links between safety climate and safety performance. ME...
