“…In a seminal study conducted by Endsley (1995), proper allocation of attention was at the core of situation awareness in high-risk environments. This finding was further underscored by results that showed how, in complex and dynamic environments, excessive attentional demands can result in lost situation awareness (Wickens et al 2013;Banbury et al 2007). A worker's ability to simultaneously detect and perceive all hazards in a dynamic construction environment will be constrained by the limited capacity of his or her cognitive resources (attention), and when the demands exceed capacity for attention, this excess can considerably degrade the worker's level of situation awareness (Hasanzadeh et al 2016).…”

The risk of major occupational accidents involving tripping hazards is commonly underestimated with a large number of studies having been conducted to better understand variables that affect situation awareness: the ability to detect, perceive, and comprehend constantly evolving surroundings. An important property that affects situation awareness is the limited capacity of the attentional system. To maintain situation awareness while exposed to tripping hazards, a worker needs to obtain feedforward information about hazards, detect immediate tripping hazards, and visually scan surroundings for any potential environmental hazards. Despite the importance of situation awareness, its relationship with attention remains unknown in the construction industry. To fill this theoretical knowledge gap, this study examines differences in attentional allocation between workers with low and high situation awareness levels while exposed to tripping hazards in a real construction site. Participants were exposed to tripping hazards on a real jobsite while walking along a path in the presence of other workers. Situation awareness was measured using the situation awareness rating technique, and subjects' eye movements were tracked as direct measures of attention via a wearable mobile eye tracker. Investigating the attentional distribution of subjects by examining fixation-count heat maps and scan paths revealed that as workers with higher situation awareness walked, they periodically looked down and scanned ahead to remain fully aware of the environment and its associated hazards. Furthermore, this study quantitatively compared the differences between the eye-tracking metrics of worker with different situation awareness levels (low versus high) using permutation simulation. The results of the statistical analysis indicate that subjects did not allocate their attention equally to all hazardous areas of interest, and these differences in attentional distribution were modulated by the workers' level of situation awareness. This study advances theory by presenting one of the first attempts to use mobile eye-tracking technology to examine the role of cognitive processes (i.e., attention) in human error (i.e., failure to identify a hazard) and occupational accidents.

“…Sneddon and colleagues (2013) developed the 20 item work SA scale, partly based on the cognitive failures questionnaire (Broadbent et al, 1982). The factors affecting SA scale (Banbury et al, 2007) strives to measure the process leading to SA, and consists of 30 items with subscales on attention management, informatio n management, cognitive efficiency, automaticity and inter-personal dynamics. Also relevant is the workplace cognitive failure scale (Wallace and Chen, 2005), which has 15 items that describe slips of memory, attention or action in a wide variety of work-settings, and has been associated with safe behaviour.…”

Situation awareness as a determinant for unsafe actions and subjective risk assessment on offshore attendant vessels

Situation awareness (SA) is often argued to be a "sharp end" indicator of workplace safety, in the sense that inaccurate SA may be the proximal cause for operator error. However, traditional field or lab experiment measures of SA are difficult to combine with large-scale data collections to examine organizational influences on SA and the safety outcomes of SA. In the current study, offshore attendant vessel crew's SA was measured with a self-report scale. Authentic leadership was modelled as a predictor, while self-report of committing unsafe actions at work and subjective risk assessment were modelled as outcome measures. Structural equation modelling showed the captain's leadership style to account for variation in SA and some variation in unsafe actions. Further, SA accounted for variation in unsafe actions and in subjective risk assessment. The study supports the assumption that SA has a crucial role in maritime safety.

“…There is controversy about whether cognition and processing speed can be altered by training alone. With suitable material, pilots can develop an increase in their SA skills (Banbury et al , ). SA addresses areas such as informative cues, pattern recognition and techniques in building an improved mental model.…”

Situational awareness – what it means for clinicians, its recognition and importance in patient safety

A thorough understanding of the role of human factors in error in health care for improving patient safely is paramount. One area particularly crucial for optimising clinical performance is the recognising the importance of situational awareness. Loss of situation awareness can occur in many different settings, particularly during stressful and unexpected situations. Tunnel vision is a classic example where clinicians focus on one aspect of care, often to the detriment of overall patient management. Loss of situational awareness can result in serious compromise to patient safety if it is not recognised by either the individual or clinical team. We provide an introduction to situational awareness for those not familiar with it, including some important theory which explains how awareness can be lost, and discuss the important approaches we use in our day-to-day practice to safeguard both patients and clinicians in the workplace environment.
