“…In South Korea mobile cranes are classified as hazardous and dangerous. Obligations are imposed which are to be observed by the provider and borrower [34]. A mobile crane must be designated as a machine subject to safety certification and manufactured with safety certification, and users are required to use safety-certified products.…”

The convenience and efficiency of mobile cranes are expanding their applicability in industrial sites, but fatal accidents continue to occur as their use increases. There were 56 cases in South Korea from 2015 to 2019, killing 59 workers. To accurately investigate the cause of a fatal accident, accident investigation reports were used. Since they are used not only as the cause of the accident but also as a result of judicial treatment, only direct causes are mentioned. Thus, indirect causes in this study were separately analyzed to induce a complex cause analysis. The man-made, management, economic, physical, political, and social (MEPS) analysis method, developed by the National Institute of Disaster in South Korea, is a type of root cause analysis (RCA), used to derive the fundamental causes of various types of disasters, mainly social ones. The complex causes of fatal accidents were analyzed by applying a modified MEPS method to mobile cranes. The MEPS method investigated three categories, namely man-made, management, and physical factors, among six categories and a newly established level four, to find the root cause of fatal accidents. The analysis results showed that violations of procedures and regulations were the most frequent causes in the man-made factors. A lack of general and special safety education was the most common cause in the management factor, and the overturning, falling, and jamming of the mobile crane were the most frequent causes in the physical factor.

“…It is proven that the rst step in assessing accident risks at the workplace is to identify the hazards (Khanzode et al 2012), and hazards are speci c to the work systems considered and require professional experience to identify them accurately (Fan et al 2013). Plenty of scholars have contributed to hazard de nition and identi cation in kinds of industries like chemical (Rashid et and manufacture (Estill et al 2020, Kim et al 2021). To date, a number of research have attached importance to the occupational risk management and safety accident analysis in the construction industry (Cabello et al 2021, Elsebaei et al 2022, Goncalves et al 2021, especially in electric and power construction projects (Ajayi et al 2020, Zhang et al 2022b).…”

To achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs) of power transmission and substation project construction, statistical analysis was used to provide an outline of safety accidents, the 4M1E method was applied for sorting out and analyzing the risk factors, and the Apriori algorithm was carried out for exploring the intrinsic interaction among risk factors based on association rule mining. The results showed that the safety accidents that happen in the construction of power transmission and substation projects were not much frequent, but deadly; and the process of foundation construction and high fall was the most accident-prone process and injury type respectively. In addition, human behaviors were the foremost factors leading to accidents, and there was a strong correlation among the risk factors of low project management level, lack of safety awareness and poor risk identi cation ability. For improving the security situation, measures should be taken for controlling human factors, performing exible management, and strengthening safety training. In further research, more detailed and diversi ed accident reports and case data should be analyzed, and more consideration should be put on the weighted risk factor analysis in order to obtain more comprehensive and objective safety accident analysis results for power transmission and substation projects.

“…Personal factors are one of the factors that affect unsafe action, such as inattention, being careless, or rushing to do work which then can cause work accidents (Wong et al, 2018). Work accidents also can be caused by machines or equipment used, usually on jamming, cutting, and crushing (Kim, Lee and Kang, 2021). Work accidents can be prevented as early as possible based on the potential and nature of a job so the losses that occur are not too large or can be minimized (Djatmiko, 2016).…”

Introduction: Animal feed industry Sidoarjo is one of the companies in the animal feed manufacturing industry. The packaging unit is the last unit in the production process that packs the feed ingredients and arranges the finished goods. A location with the most safety hazards based on the work accident reports for 2010-2017 is in the packaging unit as many as 15.78%. The purpose of this research is to analyze the risk management of work safety in the packaging unit of animal feed industry Sidoarjo. Methods: Based on the data collection method, this research was included in observational research with a cross-sectional design. The subjects in this research were workers (37 people) in the animal feed packaging and the Health Safety Environment (HSE) units. The research was conducted at the packaging unit of Animaal Feed Industry, Sidoarjo, Indonesia in November 2019-June 2020. Results: Based on hazard identification, there were 15 hazards with a risk analysis of 53% moderate risk and 47% high risk. The risk evaluation obtained was including 53% tolerable risk and 47% intolerable risk. After controlling efforts, there was a decrease in the risk category. Conclusion: The residual risk obtained after controlling carried out experienced a reduction of moderate risk by 100% and high risk by 71%. The remaining risk was 33% moderate risk and 13% high risk.
