“…An unsafe state, as the precondition of unsafe behavior, is also affected by factors at the non-technical level [7]. Safety knowledge is a necessary safety operation and function for practitioners, and provide a good emergency response ability in the face of emergencies [58]. Coal mine practitioners can work well in a good state, and it is very important to learn safety knowledge.…”

Background: To effectively avoid accidents caused by practitioners’ unsafe state in the process of coal mine production processes, it is necessary to clarify the factors influencing the practitioners’ unsafe state, and take corresponding control measures accordingly. Methods: With the help of literature research and on-site interviews, grounded theory was used to construct the influencing factor index system of the coal mine practitioners’ unsafe state. The index system primary includes indices of four core categories, physiology, psychology, organization, and technology, and secondary indices of fourteen main categories. An AHP-DEMATEL model was constructed to calculate the comprehensive degree of influence of each influencing factor and rank it. Results: The results show that the main factors affecting the coal mine practitioners’ unsafe state are physical quality, degree of fatigue, safety attitude, safety awareness, safety culture, and vigilance. Physical quality and degree of fatigue are the key factors that affect the coal mine practitioners’ unsafe state, which is more consistent with the actual situation of coal mine practitioners. With the findings of this study, coal mine managers can take relevant countermeasures to intervene in coal mine practitioners’ unsafe state and reduce the occurrence of accidents.

“…There is a growing interest in addressing behavioral transmission (Chen et al, 2023), particularly unsafe behavioral transmission (Liang et al, 2023; You et al, 2019). However, most of the existing research focuses on the causes of unsafe behavior and how to control it, and less on how it is contagion among construction workers.…”

The proliferation of unsafe behavior in underground-construction sites has been widespread, which leads to accidents in underground construction from time to time. Accidents are not only a threat to the personal safety of construction workers but also cause property losses. Intervention on how to prevent the propagation of unsafe behavior among underground-construction workers in a timely manner, further improvement in the safety-management level of construction enterprises, and ensuring smooth implementation of projects are urgent measures to solve this problem. In this study, an SCIMR (Susceptible-Contacted-Infective-Removed) model was developed to study the spread of unsafe behavior among underground-construction workers. Increase in the improvement, control, and awareness rates could provide a preventive effect on the spread of unsafe behavior among underground-construction workers, whereas increase in the adoption and forgetfulness rates could facilitate increase in unsafe behavior. This work combined the SIR (Susceptible-Infective-Removed) theory with the underground-construction context to enrich the theory of underground-construction safety personnel management, which provides a reference solution and suggestions for construction companies to intervene and predict the proliferation of unsafe behavior and a novel method of planning and direction for safety management.

“…The study by Sunandar and Yodang [21] used a limited sample size of 56, making deriving generalizations from the findings difficult. Two studies by Mavhunga and You [17,18] used cross-sectional research designs, which limited the conclusions for any cause-andeffect relationships between the variables (e.g., knowledge and unsafe behavior) [19]. Lastly, the study by Haas [20] was limited to respondents with knowledge of technology because the questionnaire was administered online, excluding respondents who were unable to use the online platforms but could give relevant information on the topic.…”

Work in the copper mining industry is often associated with exposure to respirable dust and respirable crystalline silica. This exposure has the potential to cause silicosis, a non-curable occupational respiratory lung disease. This study aimed at establishing the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, work behaviour and practice, compliance with safety standards and exposure to respirable dust. A cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted on 528 mine workers. Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) was used for descriptives. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with latent variables and partial least-squares (LVPLS) analysis was employed to determine the relationship among these variables. The results indicated that of the four (4) hypotheses, two (2) were supported and two (2) were rejected showing that there is a significant relationship between exposure to respirable dust and work behaviour and practice, as well as compliance with safety standards. Knowledge and attitudes towards respirable dust exposure did not significantly influence exposure. According to the results from the survey, positive work behaviour and practice as well as compliance with safety standards was significantly associated with exposure to respirable dust. It is recommended that the mine should focus on the miners’ work behaviour and practice and compliance with safety standards.
