“…Fatigue (Swaen et al 2003) and sleeping health (Nakata et al 2005) also aVect the occurrence of occupational injuries. Second, the depression causes occupational injury through the adverse eVects of depression treatment, including fatigue, sleeping disturbance, and cognitive impairment (Gilmore et al 1996;Simpson et al 2005;Wadsworth et al 2005). Third, several individual behaviors related to depression (e.g., excess alcohol drinking, smoking habits, weight problems) may also inXuence occupational injury (Bhattacherjee et al 2003).…”

“…The potential mechanisms of how depression plays a role in occupational injury remain unclear. Plausible mechanisms involve direct eVects (e.g., the symptoms of depression itself, such as cognitive failure, drowsiness, and loss of interest; the adverse eVects of depression treatment) and indirect eVects mediated by adverse health behaviors (Bhattacherjee et al 2003;Dewa et al 2007;Gilmore et al 1996;Poole et al 1997;Simpson et al 2005;Wadsworth et al 2005).…”

Objectives This survey was designed to determine whether depressive symptoms had an eVect on the risk of self-reported occupational injury in South Korea. Methods We conducted a prospective follow-up survey of workers at 44 small-to medium-sized companies classiWed into manufacturing or service businesses; 1,350 questionnaires were used in the Wnal analysis. The Wrst survey requested information regarding personal characteristics, work characteristics, and depressive symptoms (CES-D); the second survey queried participants in the Wrst survey about self-reported occupational injuries (including minor scratches or cuts) experienced in the previous 4 months. Risk ratios (RRs) were calculated through Poisson regression analysis. The number of occupational injuries during the previous 4 months served as the dependent variable, and depressive symptoms served as the independent variable. Results After adjustment for demographic factors, the RRs were 1.75 (95% CI: 1.41-2.18) and 2.68 (95% CI: 1.98-3.64) in male and female, respectively. Additional adjustment for work-related variables did not alter the RR considerably in females (2.65; 95% CI: 1.95-3.59). Among the male workers, however, the RR was not signiWcant (1.21; 95% CI: 0.95-1.55). On the other hand, when the analysis was limited to blue-collar workers, after adjustment for demographic and work-related factors, the RRs remained signiWcant in both genders (male: 1.34; 95% CI: 1.03-1.74; female: 2.04; 95% CI: 1.41-2.95). Conclusions We found that the risk of self-reported occupational injury experience was higher in workers who reported depressive symptoms. Additional study using objective data is required to conWrm our results.

“…Furthermore, this might influence greater levels of attention and concentration in the work setting. Decreased attention and cognitive function has been observed to be related to the number of minor injuries and even accidents at work [37]. Therefore, it is hoped that the use of a graphical language in the human-robot interaction might have some influence in deceasing workplace accidents.…”

Abstract. The shift towards more collaborative working between humans and robots increases the need for improved interfaces. Alongside robust measures to ensure safety and task performance, humans need to gain the confidence in robot co-operators to enable true collaboration. This research investigates how graphical signage can support human-robot co-working, with the intention of increased productivity. Participants are required to co-work with a KUKA iiwa lightweight manipulator on a manufacturing task. The three conditions in the experiment differ in the signage presented to the participants -signage relevant to the task, irrelevant to the task, or no signage. A change between three conditions is expected in anxiety and negative attitudes towards robots; error rate; response time; and participants' complacency, suggested by facial expressions. In addition to understanding how graphical languages can support human-robot co-working, this study provides a basis for further collaborative research to explore human-robot co-working in more detail.
