METHODS This study was conducted in Mobareke steel manufacturing company, which is located in the middle of Iran, in 2007. The methodology was based on the safety behavior sampling (SBS) technique and entropy. After specifying t...

To create a safe work atmosphere, it is essential to control the spread of unsafe behaviors among construction workers. Based on group behavior theory, the relationship between the influence factors and means of spreading unsafe behavior among construction workers is verified using a structural equation model (SEM) and multiround research data. According to the research, (1) spreading methods o...

Introduction: Human beings are inherently different and this fact can affect his/her behavior in work environments. The aim of this study was to examine the individual differences of employees (personality traits, biological and demographic factors) as a predictor of unsafe behaviors in a turbine manufacturing company. Material and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, safety behavior sampli...

To control coal miner’s unsafe behavior, miner and manager behaviors were analyzed, and a behavior control system model was constructed. The necessity conditions of optimal management behavior of coalmine manager in both complete information and incomplete information condition were studied. The result established that, only if the estimated value of unsafe behavior by manager was the same as t...

Florida has a severe problem with pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities. Recent trends show that Florida’s pedestrian fatality rate is almost double the national average. Traditional safety programs rely on crash data to develop safety campaigns or countermeasures to increase safety. Since crash data are not readily available and a long time has to pass before meaningful data is collected, a “ris...
