“…This result was consistent with other studies, because when a person is squatting while carrying a load (i.e. placing a load on 30" shelf height) most of the leg muscles are under high stress [20].Moreover, DiDomenico [10] concluded that bent at waist, squatting, and kneeling were reported to produce threat to stability among construction workers. Additionally, Lin [28] studied the effects of lumbar extensor stress, and surface inclination on postural control during erect standing.…”

“…Therefore, DiDomenico [9] assessed the magnitude of this imbalance, and concluded that bending over at waist caused the smallest changes in stability measures, whereas the reclined kneeling posture resulted in the largest. Additionally, DiDomenico [10]surveyed construction workers to find which postures resulted in less stability. The most common non-erect postures, such as bent at waist, squatting, and kneeling were reported to produce threat to stability.…”

“…Loss of balance is associated with the postural stability of workers; therefore, factors related to balance loss were identified (DiDomenico et al, 2010), and Inertial Measurement Unit sensors were used for postural stability analysis of construction workers (Jebelli et al, 2016). In addition to these analyses, a long term study was proposed for increasing the effectiveness of the training of foremen in order to decrease fall accidents (Kaskutas et al, 2013).…”

Identifying the correlations between the attributes of severe accidents could be vital to preventing them. If such relationships were known dynamically, it would be possible to take preventative actions against accidents. The paper aims to develop an analytical model that is adaptable for each type of data to create preventative measures that will be suitable for any computational systems. The present model collectively shows the relationships between the attributes in a coherent manner to avoid severe accidents. In this respect, Association Rule Mining (ARM) is used as the technique to identify the correlations between the attributes. The research adopts a positivist approach to adhere to the factual knowledge concerning nine different accident types through case studies and quantitative measurements in an objective nature. ARM was exemplified with nine different types of construction accidents to validate the adaptability of the proposed model. The results show that each accident type has different characteristics with varying combinations of the attribute, and analytical model accomplished to accommodate variation through the dataset. Ultimately, professionals can identify the cause-effect relationships effectively and set up preventative measures to break the link between the accident causing factors.

“…The selection of postures was determined based on a field study that included a survey of construction workers in which participants provided the frequency of use for all non-erect postures and rated their perceptions of balance after transitioning to a standing position (DiDomenico et al 2010). The four postures included in the current study were identified as the most commonly used non-erect postures and also resulted in the lowest balance ratings.…”

Standing after maintaining working postures may result in imbalance and could elicit a fall. The objective of this study was to assess the magnitude of this imbalance. Forty-five male participants completed three replications of conditions created by four static postures and three durations within posture. Participants transitioned to quiet standing at a self-selected pace. Body segment location and displacement of the centre of pressure (COP) were recorded using a motion capture system and two forceplates, respectively. Balance control measures were calculated during the stabilisation phase. All balance control measures were significantly affected by static posture but not duration within posture. Bending over at waist generally caused the smallest changes in balance control measures, whereas the reclined kneeling posture resulted in the largest. Findings may lead to recommendations for redesign of tasks to reduce the use of certain working postures, particularly in high-risk environments such as construction. STATEMENT OF RELEVANCE: Task performance on the jobsite often requires individuals to maintain non-erect postures. This study suggests that the working posture chosen affects stabilisation during a transition to a standing position. Bending at the waist or squatting seems to have less of an affect on balance control measures, whereas both types of kneeling postures evaluated resulted in greater imbalance.
