Background: Improvement of workers' safety performance is an integral and essential part of safety management. Relevant safety interventions to improve workers' safety performance are generally difficult to establish when there is a wide range of occupational hazards and at-risk individuals' features. Objective: This study aimed at formulating a...

Objective School-behavior-health difficulties (SBHDs) may alter physical/mental capabilities and consequently increase injury risk during daily activities. This study assessed the associations of potential SBHDs and their cumulative number (SBHDcn) with various injury types among younger adolescents. Methods: The study population included 1,559 mid...

Introduction Studies related to a systematic approach for intervention design to reduce whole-body vibration (WBV) exposure are scarce. This study presents a systematic approach to identifying, selecting, and prioritizing safety interventions to fulfill that research gap. Methodology A total number of 130 vibration readings for dumper operators wa...

Early adolescents may daily spend excessive screen-time (with television viewing, computer/console gaming, discussion forums/chatting online, internet surfing, doing homework, and electronic mails) while its association with cumulating several school-behavior-mental-health difficulties (SBMDs) (poor-academic-performance, being obese, alcohol/tobacc...

Background: This study deals with some factors that influence the exposure of whole-body vibration (WBV) of dumper operators in surface mines. The study also highlights the approach to improve the multivariate linear analysis outcomes when collinearity exists between certain factor pairs. Material and Methods: A total number of 130 vibration readin...

Background Studies regarding predictors of underground continuous miner technology-related injuries have been scarce in number, especially from the human error perspective. This study deals with risk factors (personal, including behavioral and work organizational) that influence human error and evaluates those risk factors as predictors of injury o...

A wide range of job-related hazards and personal factors may be associated with injury occurrences at continuous miner worksites but their role has been little documented. To address this issue, a case-control study in India was conducted to compare 135 workers with an injury during the previous 2-yr period and 270 controls without injury during th...

In the underground coal mining sector of India, continuous miner technology is gaining wider acceptance since its first deployment in 2002. As the continuous miner worksite is an active production area, there are a number of prevalent occupational hazards which can lead to accidents/injuries. This paper focuses on to identify the factors associated...

In the underground coal mining sector of India, continuous miner technology is gaining wider acceptance since its first deployment in 2002 at Chirimiri Anjan Hill Mine of South Eastern Coalfields Limited. As the continuous miner worksite is an active production area, there are a number of prevalent occupational hazards which can lead to accidents/i...
