Safety training to mitigate risks of fatigue among construction workers Grant uri icon

abstract

  • The dynamic and demanding nature of construction activities makes workers enormously vulnerable to experience high levels of fatigue on a daily basis. Fatigue is ubiquitous among construction workers and has been frequently cited as an underlying cause of accidents. Despite the importance and pervasiveness, occupational fatigue training materials are not available for construction employers and workers to help them to mitigate the risk of fatigue and prevent fatigue-related accidents. Therefore, funds are needed to support research activities to review the literature, conduct interviews with construction experts and workers, and conduct experiments to find the most effective control measures.
