“…Human errors in power plant maintenance increase the percentage of dangerous accidents, production delays, and losses of money and time [24]. The effects of human errors on power systems have been analyzed [25][26][27], and the factors causing human errors in power systems have been classified using statistical methods [28,29]. Case studies have attempted to measure the human errors in power plants in an attempt to form a cognitive, systemic mechanism to minimize such errors [30,31].…”

Industry 4.0 is expected to play a crucial role in improving energy management and personnel performance in power plants. Poor performance problem in maintaining power plants is the result of both human errors, human factors and the poor implementation of automation in energy management. This problem can potentially be solved using artificial intelligence (AI) and an integrated management system (IMS). This article investigates the current challenges to improving personnel and energy management performance in power plants, identifies the critical success factors (CSFs) for an integrated intelligent framework, and develops an intelligent framework that enables power plants to improve performance. The theoretical basis is founded on a systematic literature review to locate 110 out of 3108 papers studied carefully to examine the performance architecture that best enables effective maintenance. The findings from this literature review are combined with expert judgment and the big data advantages of AI applications to develop an intelligent model. Data are collected from a power plant in Iraq. To ensure the reliability of the proposed model, various hypotheses are tested using structural equation modeling. The results confirm that the measurement model is acceptable, and that the hypotheses are supported and significant. A case study demonstrates the strong relationship and significance between big data of performance and the CSFs. It is hoped that this model will be adopted to enable performance improvement in power plants.

“…However, in the field of CSOH, unsafe human behavior is aggravated by the complexity and variety of influencing factors and interactions involved, and workers are still in the complex dynamic space of the construction site. The network method has been widely adopted in human error research, with the most important advantage in revealing the influence and evolution mechanics of human errors, thus providing a more accurate basis for improving unsafe behaviors and mistakes [32]. Therefore, with the expansion of human error research, network methods have systematic application needs to describe the relationship between factors and effects, reveal the mechanism of influence, predict the spread of influence, and formulate intervention measures.…”

“…Based on network theory and accident causation theory, researchers have begun to focus on the dynamic propagation of risks in a network. For example, in previous studies, some scholars introduced the cascading failure analysis approach after establishing a hazard interdependence network, thus attempting to describe the propagation mechanism of hazards [32,89]. Complex network theory has unique advantages in describing risk propagation in CSOH because it helps to accurately express and quantify the mechanism of interaction.…”

Construction safety accidents seriously threaten the lives and health of employees; however, the complexity of construction safety problems continues to increase. Network approaches have been widely applied to address accident mechanics. This study aims to review related studies on construction safety and occupational health (CSOH) and summarize the research paradigm of recent decades. We solicited 119 peer-reviewed journal articles and performed a bibliometric analysis as the foundation of the future directions, application bottlenecks, and research paradigm. (1) Based on the keyword cluster, future directions are divided into four layers: key directions, core themes, key problems, and important methods. (2) The network approaches are not independently applied in the CSOH research. It needs to rely on different theories or be combined with other methods and models. However, in terms of approach applications, there are still some common limitations that restrict its application and development. (3) The research paradigm of network analysis process can be divided into four stages: description, explanation, prediction, and control. When the same network method encounters different research objects, it focuses on different analysis processes and plays different roles.

“…Safety communication and feedback is defined as the provision of information and data on the safety level of an organization to identify the degrees of risk that result in accidents in the workplace (Bentley & Haslam, 2001). Literature (for example Zohar, 1980), reported safety communication and feedback is related with organizational safety practices safety participation (Neal et al, 2000) and safety compliance (Vinodkumar & Bhasi, 2010;Berhan, 2020;Liu & Liao, 2019;Usukhbayar & Choi, 2020;Liu, Tang, Liao, & Xu, 2020;Ali, Aziz, Pham, Babalola, & Usman, 2020). Most importantly, this factor is also reported to lower the level of injuries and accidents in organizations (Ali et al, 2009).…”

Organizational injuries and accident has become a major issue in many countries especially among foreign workers in the construction sector. This paper aims to examine the safety behavior of foreign workers in the Jeddah construction industry by examining the direct relationships between safety management practices (priority of safety, safety communication, and work pressure) on safety compliance and safety participative behavior. Also, social support was tested as a moderator on these relationships. Partial Least Square Techniques 3.0 (PLS) approach was used to test the hypotheses. The finding showed that the priority of safety and safety communication predicts both safety compliance and participative behavior in this study. While the relationships between work pressure and safety compliance and participation are not significant. Results for the moderation effects of social support revealed that the relationship between safety communication and work pressure on safety participation was influenced by social support. The finding in this study provides empirical support of social support as a moderator and contributes to the role of social exchange theory and can assist construction practitioners in Saudi Arabia on how to improve construction workers safety behavior. Finally, this study discusses theoretical and practical implications, as well as recommendations for future research.
