Organisational attributes that determine design for occupational safety and health capability (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Mahamadu, A., Manu, P., Poghosyan, A., Mahdjoubi, L., Gibb, A., & Behm, M. (2017). Organisational attributes that determine design for occupational safety and health capability. In J. Sanjayan, M. Alam, & P. X. W. Zhou (Eds.),

Design for occupational safety and health (DfOSH) is increasingly becoming prominent in construction. In the UK, DfOSH is a legal requirement under the Construction Design and Management Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015). Amongst other requirements, the CD...

Causes and impact of work related stress amongst construction health and safety managers (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Rogers, G., Manu, P., Mahamadu, A., & Dziekoński, K. (2017, November). Causes and impact of work related stress amongst construction health and safety managers. Paper presented at 22nd International Conference on Advancement of Construction Management and Real Estate, Melbourne, Australia

Work related stress (WRS) is a contributor to absence from work by workers in the construction industry. Whilst there has been research into WRS in the construction sector, there has been limited empirical research focussing on WRS amongst constructi...

Can Personal Values Help to Manage Workers' Occupational Safety and Health Behaviour? (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Manu, P., Mahamadu, A., Hadikusumo, B., Leungbootnak, N., Gibb, A., & Bell, N. (2017). Can Personal Values Help to Manage Workers' Occupational Safety and Health Behaviour?. . https://doi.org/10.1016/j.proeng.2017.08.024

© 2017 The Authors. Finding innovative and effective ways of improving construction workers' occupational safety and health behaviour is a challenge for implementers of behavioural-based safety (BBS) programmes. Whilst innate antecedents of behaviour... Read More about Can Personal Values Help to Manage Workers' Occupational Safety and Health Behaviour?.
