Safety risk factors in the use of construction robots (2023)
Book Chapter
Mahamadu, A. M., Prabhakaran, A., Manu, P., Caparros Perez, D., & Szostak, M. (in press). Safety risk factors in the use of construction robots. In P. Manu, S. Gao, P. J. Da Silva Bartolo, V. Francis, & A. Sawhney (Eds.), Handbook of Construction Safety, Health and Well-being in the Industry 4.0 Era. (1). Taylor & Francis (Routledge)

Technological advancement has led to the increased reliance on machines in place of human construction workers. Advanced robotics and automation systems are therefore becoming commonplace on construction sites albeit used mostly alongside constructio...

Measures of greenspace exposure and their association to health-related outcomes for the periods before and during 2020’s Lockdown: A cross-sectional study in the West of England (2023)
Journal Article
Fouad, A. Z., Sinnett, D., Bray, I., McClatchey, R., & Reece, R. (in press). Measures of greenspace exposure and their association to health-related outcomes for the periods before and during 2020’s Lockdown: A cross-sectional study in the West of England. Land,

Greenspaces are argued to be one of the important features in the urban environment that impact the health of the population. Previous research suggested either positive, negative or no associations between greenspaces and health-related outcomes. Th...

Prioritising critical attributes for the management of materials procurement and construction waste (2023)
Journal Article
Chidiobi, C. C., Booth, C. A., & Lamond, J. E. (in press). Prioritising critical attributes for the management of materials procurement and construction waste. Proceedings of the ICE - Waste and Resource Management, 1-34. https://doi.org/10.1680/jwarm.22.00013

Construction and demolition waste constitutes the largest municipal solid waste (MSW) globally with environmental concerns. However, waste management is not considered a priority objective in construction compared to time and cost. Therefore, constru...
