Abstract: One in every five occupational deaths occurs in the construction sector. A proactive approach for improving on-site safety is identifying and analyzing accident precursors, such as near-misses, that provide early warnings of accidents. Despite the importance of near-misses, they are frequently left unreported and unrecorded in the construction sector. The adoption of modern technologies can prevent accidents by automated data collection and analysis. This study aims to develop near-miss detection metrics to facilitate the automated detection of near-misses through sensors. The study adopted a mixed method approach including both qualitative and quantitative approaches.

The facts of construction site safety are horrific!

Yet, in the USA, major engineering societies, associations, and the like for individual engineers as well as
those wherein firms of engineers join/belong stay silent.

I only learned of the above last AUG23 when speaking at a conference, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS.
Cheers,
Bill
