Integrating machine learning and a large language model to construct a domain knowledge graph for reducing the risk of fall-from-height accidents.

Accident; analysis and prevention
Fall-from-height (FFH) accidents remain a major source of workplace injuries and fatalities. Fall protection systems (FPS) are critical for preventing falls in the work-at-height (WAH) environment. However, challenges in designing and selecting effec...

Hope for the best prepare for the worst: acute kidney disease and catastrophic comorbidities (a case report).

The Pan African medical journal
It is evident that Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is an independent risk factor for both the survival of patients and their kidneys. Here, we present a case of oliguric AKI secondary to blunt trauma-induced crush syndrome complicated with severe sepsis in...

Neuro-fuzzy prediction model of occupational injuries in mining.

International journal of occupational safety and ergonomics : JOSE
This study investigates the possibility of developing a unique model for predicting work-related injuries in Serbian underground coal mines using neural networks and fuzzy logic theory. Accidents are common due to the unique nature of underground mi...

Acquisition of Data on Kinematic Responses to Unpredictable Gait Perturbations: Collection and Quality Assurance of Data for Use in Machine Learning Algorithms for (Near-)Fall Detection.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Slip, trip, and fall (STF) accidents cause high rates of absence from work in many companies. During the 2022 reporting period, the German Social Accident Insurance recorded 165,420 STF accidents, of which 12 were fatal and 2485 led to disability pen...

Robot-related injuries in the workplace: An analysis of OSHA Severe Injury Reports.

Applied ergonomics
Industrial robots are increasingly commonplace, but research on prototypical accidents and injuries has been sparse, hindering evidence-based safety strategies. Using Severe Injury Reports (SIRs) from the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administr...

Daily planning conversations and AI: Keys for improving construction culture, engagement, planning, and safety.

American journal of industrial medicine
The construction industry is known for its inherent risks, contributing to ~170,000 workplace injuries and illnesses annually in the United States. Engaging in prejob safety discussions presents a crucial chance to safeguard workers by proactively re...

Enhancing safety of construction workers in Korea: an integrated text mining and machine learning framework for predicting accident types.

International journal of injury control and safety promotion
Construction workers face a high risk of various occupational accidents, many of which can result in fatalities. This study aims to develop a prediction model for nine prevalent types of construction accidents, utilizing construction tasks, activitie...

Real-time monitoring unsafe behaviors of portable multi-position ladder worker using deep learning based on vision data.

Journal of safety research
INTRODUCTION: Fatal fall from height accidents, especially on construction sites, persist, underscoring the importance of monitoring and managing worker behaviors to enhance safety. Deep learning showed the possibility of substituting the manual work...

An Image-Based Human-Robot Collision Avoidance Scheme: A Proof of Concept.

IISE transactions on occupational ergonomics and human factors
OCCUPATIONAL APPLICATIONSIn modern industrial plants, collisions between humans and robots pose a significant risk to occupational safety. To address this concern, we sought to devise a reliable system for human-robot collision avoidance system emplo...

Robot-related fatalities at work in the United States, 1992-2017.

American journal of industrial medicine
BACKGROUND: Industrial robots became more commonplace in the US workplace during the mid- to latter part of the twentieth century. Recent scientific advances have led to the development of new types of robots, resulting in rapidly changing work envir...
