Building a framework for dynamic organisational capabilities in Design for Safety (DfS) for Malaysian construction organisations (2024)
Journal Article

Purpose – Despite the growing construction subject of Design for Safety (DfS) in Malaysia, little effort has been made to understand the construction organisational DfS capability in a dynamic environment. This study aims to propose a framework for d... Read More about Building a framework for dynamic organisational capabilities in Design for Safety (DfS) for Malaysian construction organisations.

Moderating effects of coping behaviors on stressors–Stress relationships of ethnic minority construction workers (2024)
Journal Article

To overcome the shortage of construction workers in developed countries, the construction industry recruits a minority workforce from developing countries. However, ethnic minority construction workers (EM-CWs) experience numerous stressors in the h... Read More about Moderating effects of coping behaviors on stressors–Stress relationships of ethnic minority construction workers.

Prevention through Design (PtD) educational elements in engineering, architectural and construction domain: A review (2024)
Journal Article

Despite the increasing emphasis on early Prevention through Design (PtD) education, the extent to which educational elements need to be embedded in tertiary education remains unclear. To address these issues, a scoping review of the literature relate... Read More about Prevention through Design (PtD) educational elements in engineering, architectural and construction domain: A review.

Occupational safety and health in modular integrated construction: A systematic literature review (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Modular integrated construction (MiC) has garnered significant global interest from scholars and professionals. Despite its advantages, MiC introduces complex occupational health and safety (H&S) challenges due to its unique aspects, such as offsite... Read More about Occupational safety and health in modular integrated construction: A systematic literature review.

Exploring the interplay of job-related and personal factors in the well-being of construction project professionals: A conceptual framework (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Workplace well-being is increasingly recognised as crucial for the work performance of construction professionals. Consequently, identifying factors leading to well-being is essential for employers because this enables them to gauge the well-being of...

A conceptual framework and tools characteristics for developing an immersive technology-based occupational health training mechanism (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Training and education are crucial in tackling occupational safety and health risks, such as manual handling for construction workers as they help workers identify and handle hazards. Concurrently, integrating Immersive Technologies (ImTs) in trainin... Read More about A conceptual framework and tools characteristics for developing an immersive technology-based occupational health training mechanism.

Dimensions of maturity model for institutionalising Smart Circular Construction: A systematic literature review (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The systematic adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies has potentials to achieve the transition to Smart Circular Construction (SCC). However, the construction literature lacks a systematic guidance of maturity models to inform the transition to circul...

Exploring the multidimensional challenges in integrating Design for Safety (DfS) in the Ghanaian construction industry (2024)
Journal Article

Purpose: The uptake of Design for Safety (DfS) practices in developing countries like Ghana has been limited. This study aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the barriers across regulatory, organizational, cultural and educational dimensions... Read More about Exploring the multidimensional challenges in integrating Design for Safety (DfS) in the Ghanaian construction industry.

Towards developing a predictive model for interpersonal communication quality in construction projects: An ensemble artificial intelligence-based approach (2024)
Journal Article

High-quality communication among stakeholders is salient to securing and maintaining collaboration in construction projects. Indeed, the absence of such communication among the workforce leads to inefficiency, low productivity, and substandard delive...
