“…Focusing more on the human reliability analysis, Moaveni et al [43] proposed the use of lean construction approaches for construction projects since they can reduce the possibility of human errors, improving safety performances. Besides, Ye et al [44] proposed an improved Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) approach to determine key human factors that can lead to an improvement of safety performances. Notwithstanding the relevance of the insights of these works, the assessment and monitoring of the behavior of workers focusing on the human reliability aspects is still scarcely considered in the construction sector [45].…”

Occupational safety in the construction industry still represents a relevant problem at a global level. In fact, the complexity of working activities in this sector requires a comprehensive approach that goes beyond normative compliance to guarantee safer working conditions. In particular, empirical research on the factors influencing the unsafe behavior of workers needs to be augmented. Thus, the relationship between human factors and safety management issues following a bottom-up approach was investigated. In particular, an easy-to-use procedure that can be used to better address workers’ safety needs augmenting the company’s safety climate and supporting safety management issues was developed. Such an approach, based on the assessment of human reliability factors, was verified in a real case study concerning the users of concrete mixer trucks. The results showed that the majority of human failures were action and retrieval errors, underlining the importance of theoretical and practical training programs as a means to improve safety behavior. In such a context, information and communication activities also resulted beneficially to augment the company’s safety climate. The proposed approach, despite its qualitative nature, allows a clearer understanding of workers’ perceptions of hazards and their risk-taking behavior, providing practical cues to monitor and improve the behavioral aspects of safety climate. Hence, these first results can contribute to augmenting safety knowledge in the construction industry, providing a basis for further investigations on the causalities related to human performances, which are considered a key element in the prevention of accidents.

“…Los entrevistados indican que la existencia de agua potable en bidones para el consumo de los trabajadores es de suma importancia, los resultados coinciden con Jiménez, Quispe, Baldeon, Rojas y García (2016) Elles, Villabona y Martelo (2018), manifestaron que hay un alto riesgo en la empresas debido a las condiciones de higiene y seguridad; Gui, Qin, Xlaoli, Qingting, Yuhe,& Qinjun (2018), dicen que se debe de identificar los riesgos existentes en los ambientes de trabajo con el fin de establecer buenas condiciones de higiene y seguridad. Igualmente se respeta el horario de trabajo en la mayoría de los días y cuando se atrasa la obra se debe hacer sobretiempo obligatorio, coincidiendo con la OIT (ley 26648 art.…”

El objetivo del estudio fue conocer los factores de riesgo y los accidentes laborales en las empresas de construcción, Lima Perú. Se llevó a cabo mediante el enfoque cualitativo, basado en el paradigma naturalista, etnográfico, interpretativo, cuyo método estudio de casos, basado en las entrevistas, se desarrollaron diez relacionadas en el área de construcción, dirigidas a los ingenieros, técnico y operarios, se aplicaron con codificación abierta las cuales fueron procesadas empleando el programa Atlas- ti 8, teniendo como resultados que existen riesgos organizacionales, infraestructura, tiempo de trabajo y capacitación; los individuales, físicos, químicos y biológicos y los psicológicos, estrés y ergonómico que tiene como consecuencia los accidentes laborales. En el resultado se obtuvo que el estrés es el indicador predominante para la causa de accidentes. Se concluyó que los trabajadores están expuestos a riesgos y accidentes debido al estrés, falta de capacitación respecto al plan de seguridad.

“…With the green economy movement and other giant projects, researchers in the field of environmental construction must also put more focus on studying environmental alternatives for the existing nonenvironmental materials [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34].…”

Growth as an inevitable human nature roots even in our business operation. Private entities, similarly, in seek of expansion and maybe more influence over their area of expertise, decide to go public in a certain point of time. The timing to move from private to public, indeed, is a critical factor in the future success of the business. In the traditional capitalist structure of this move, small private companies, which are defined by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission as those entities with consolidated revenue of less than $50 million per year, choose between sellout to a parent firm or Initial Public Offering (IPO). Both options have their own advantages and disadvantages. Yet, they are both complex, highly regulated, costly, and frustrating which are truly major drawbacks for small entities. Failure to go public caused by these drawbacks results in death of small businesses and loss of jobs which is followed by terrible socio-economic consequences. To avoid the conventional frustrating publicity of the private firms, in this article, utilization of cryptocurrency as the modern financial instrument is discussed. Digital currencies enable fast transition, globalization, grassroot economy, and social justice.
