“…By lacking supervision, workers not wearing PPE at all required times and not reporting all accidents that happened at the workplace. It is in line with the study of Man, Chan and Alabdulkarim 43 , besides the requirements to have safety training or retraining program, it really needs to ensure that frequent regular safety inspection and supervision need to be provided to prevent workers from taking risks at work. Based on the obtained results, it is yes; employers provided training to the workers.…”

Reported fatal accidents in Malaysia construction industry contributed the highest number among other industries since 2009 until 2018. These statistics are alarming and elucidate the need to conduct scientific research to find the solution to solve the problem. Safety and health issues remain critical to the construction industry due to its working environment and the complexity of working practices. To prevent an accident, hazard identification is essential to construction safety management because unidentified hazards present the most unmanageable risks. Therefore, this research is conducted to help in reducing occupational accidents in the construction industry, and it can be considered worthy. This study aims to understand the triggering events, and their factors leading to fatal accidents are of significant input. The obtained data were analyzed using a statistical analysis program. Data collections of 139 numbers of respondents have been conducted in six different construction sites in east Malaysia. The result showed that there is a correlation between worker's perspective on safety management in the construction site and accident that can lead to a more fatality rate compared to other sectors. The corresponding recommendations are ultimately put forward as fatal accident prevention in construction activities. The patterns found in this paper can contribute valuable direction for formulating accident prevention strategies. In future research, reporting of an accident and near misses are essential to be further explored.

“…Perception is the last critical link in the relationship between human beings and the external world, and it is a key factor in the series of emotional changes, cognition, and other psychological processes that are produced by stimulating the external environment and things within it. The definition of risk perception is complex and interwoven, and it consists of a series of cognitive processes that are triggered by an individual's psychology which ultimately guides their decision making [38]. Research on risk perception dates back to the 1960s, when Sowby [39] devised a set of risk comparison methods and found that risk acceptability is not simply a matter of assessing the return on risk itself; it is more about people's subjective scales.…”

The psychological health and work commitment of miners are prerequisites to ensuring their sustainable safety behavior, and it is also significant to the sustainable development of coal mines in China. In this context, we conducted a questionnaire survey among coal miners of state-owned coal enterprises to explore the relationships between cultural emotion, unemployment risk perception, Big Five personality traits, and work commitment. The results reveal that (1) cultural emotion and its three dimensions played a significant positive role in promoting work commitment. (2) Unemployment risk perception, policy unemployment risk perception, and individual differential unemployment risk perception had a negative moderating effect. (3) Moreover, work commitment was associated with differences in personality characteristics except for agreeableness. This research is of important theoretical value and practical significance, as it can guide Chinese coal miners to increase their work commitment and thereby improve safety in production.

“…Risk perception is the intuitive risk judgment of people to assess hazards [28]. The concept of risk perception has been widely applied to understanding human behavior such as risk-taking behavior [29,30], driving behavior [31], and technology acceptance [9]. Despite the many advantages of AVs, the public has been found to be very concerned about risks associated with AVs [32].…”

Critical Factors Influencing Acceptance of Automated Vehicles by Hong Kong Drivers

This study aimed to identify critical factors that influence acceptance of automated vehicles among drivers. The focus of this study was on automated vehicles (AVs) of level 3 (conditional driving automation) as defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers. A research model was proposed here by using the technology acceptance model (TAM) with trust, risk perception (perceived safety risk and perceived privacy risk), compatibility, and system quality. A cross-sectional structured questionnaire survey was used to collect quantitative data from 237 drivers in Hong Kong. The data were analyzed to test the proposed research model by structural equation modeling. The proposed research model was found to explain 68% of the variance in intention to use AVs. In contrast with the TAM constructs of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, the results of this study indicated that trust was the most important factor in shaping a positive attitude towards using AVs, which affected driver intention to use AVs. Also, trust was found to be influenced by perceived safety risk, compatibility, and system quality. This study is the first attempt to consider technological factors related to AVs (compatibility and system quality) in explaining AV acceptance among drivers and highlighted the importance of the technological factors in the context of driver acceptance of AVs. Based on the findings of this study, several recommendations are discussed to help AV developers and governments to improve driver attitudes towards adoption of AVs.
