“…According to the theory of three element interaction in social cognitive theory, environment influences human behavior and employees are in the environment of enterprise education mode for safety production, the good or bad of the mode directly affects the employees' safety initiative behavior (Hale et al, 2010;Gholami et al, 2015). Under the penalty type education mode for safety production, attentions fail to be paid to the safety initiatives behavior of employees, effective safety education fails to be implemented, and the motivation to implement safety initiative is then reduced, they will not take the initiative to detect security risks, and even security risks will not be seen (Goh and Ali, 2016;Zohar and Lee, 2016). Coal mining companies should be concerned about employees as much as production costs, follow the education concept of guiding people's behavior, establish correct safety ideas, and have a strong sense of safety and a high sense of safety responsibility education, so as to arouse employees' initiatives, formulate incentive education institution to strengthen the psychological consciousness of employees as a master and make employees regard the interests of enterprises as their own interests, and realize the transformation of "To make me safe" to "I want to be safe" (Kadali and Vedagiri, 2016).…”

The penalty type education mode for safety production is lack of systematic and comprehensive education thought, education system and education measures, which leads to frequent safety accidents. To promote the safety education level of China's coal mining enterprises, in this study, the government, coal mine enterprises and employees are included in the evolutionary game model to explore the game relation and evolutionary path of the decision-making behavior among the three stakeholders in the safety management and education. It is proved by decision-making dynamic replication analysis, strategy evolution stability analysis and numerical simulated experiment verification that: the decision-making behavior of the government, coal mine enterprises and employees is the result of the mutual game playing among the three stakeholders. It is impossible for the government to leave alone the enterprises adopting the penalty type education mode for safety production. The incentive type education mode for safety production takes active education thought, education system, education measures and so on. It has become an effective driving factor to promote safety education level and motivate employees' safety initiative. When certain conditions are met, the decision-making behavior of three stakeholders of the government, coal mine enterprises and employees can evolve into an ideal state. The evolution process of decision-making behavior of three stakeholders to the ideal state is influenced by many factors. The range of different factors has a differential effect on the convergence rate of the three stakeholders to the ideal state.

“…[60] simulated the absence of construction workers and proposed one way to test whether the ABM model is effective. Goh et al [61] proposed a hybrid simulation framework based on earthmoving to facilitate the inclusion of safety management considerations into the simulation of construction activities. In recent years, due to the complexity and dynamics of the construction site environment, traditional safety management methods are not so effective.…”

Previous literature has recognized that workers' unsafe behavior is the combined result of both isolated individual cognitive processes and their interaction with others. Based on the consideration of both individual cognitive factors and social organizational factors, this paper aims to develop an Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) approach to explore construction workers' sociocognitive processes under the interaction with managers, coworkers, and foremen. The developed model is applied to explore the causes of cognitive failure of construction workers and the influence of social groups and social organizational factors on the workers' unsafe behavior. The results indicate that (1) workers' unsafe behaviors are gradually reduced with the interaction with managers, foremen, and workers; (2) the foreman is most influential in reducing workers' unsafe behaviors, and their demonstration role can hardly be ignored; (3) the failure of sociocognitive process of construction workers is affected by many factors, and cognitive process errors could be corrected under social norms; and (4) among various social organizational factors, social identity has the most obvious effect on reducing workers' unsafe behaviors, and preventive measures are more effective than reactive measures in reducing workers' unsafe behaviors.

“…In this study, the rig, crane, and pile were defined as distinct types of agents, and the detailed processes of making a bored pile were defined as the interaction rules. More recently, Goh and Ali (2016) proposed a hybrid simulation framework for earthmoving activity, comprising discrete event simulation, system dynamics, and ABM, taking into consideration workers' safety behaviors. It defined trucks, excavators, and operators as agents, and the processes of earthmoving as interaction rules.…”

Co-worker safety support has been given prominence in manufacturing and transportation field for its positive effect on individual workers’ safety; however, there is little evidence to show if such supporting role of co-workers is significant in improving project-level safety performance in construction workplace. This study adopts agent-based modeling (ABM) to understand the effectiveness of two distinct co-worker-safety-support actions on the safety performance of a construction project. Based on the risk theory, the ABM model simulates a construction site where worker agents reinforce steel bars with the likelihood of suffering crane-related incidents. The results indicate that both co-worker-support actions can significantly reduce the occurrence of nonfatal incidents but shows little influence in fatal incidents, and in reducing high-severity incidents, the action of warning peers to leave the hazardous area has the same effectiveness as reminding peers to wear Personal Protective Equipment. The present study provides a fresh insight into the safety-related role of co-workers: not only reveals how the local-level effects of co-workers’ safety assistance emerge the system-level consequences, but demonstrates the effectiveness of specific peer-support actions on three levels of construction safety performance, and thereby extends our existing body of knowledge on co-worker safety support in the construction field.
