Deep learning-based networks for automated recognition and classification of awkward working postures in construction using wearable insole sensor data (2022)
Journal Article

Among the numerous work-related risk factors, construction workers are often exposed to awkward working postures that may lead them to develop work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). To mitigate WMSDs among construction workers, awkward worki...

Group-level safety climate in the construction industry: Influence of organizational, group, and individual factors (2021)
Journal Article

Group-level safety climate (GSC) is a recognized leading indicator of safety performance in the literature. However, there is limited understanding of the mechanisms through which multilevel (i.e., organizational, group, and individual) factors colle...

The mediating influence of local cultures on the relationship between factors of safety risk perception and Risk-Taking behavioural intention of construction site workers (2021)
Journal Article

Safety risk perception and local cultures are two determinants that influence site workers' risk-taking behavioural intention during construction. The former and its influences are empirically valid, while the latter remains descriptive. How these tw...
