Modeling the Role of Social Networks in Situational Awareness and Hazard Communication

摘要: Hazard recognition and communication is critical for preventing injuries on construction projects. Across the industry, employers encourage workers to conduct regular pre-job safety meetings hazard analyses identify, communicate, mitigate site-based hazards. Although such programs promote safety, potential benefits are often lost because of inefficient channels, differences in language proficiency, poor culture. In this study, we use social network analysis (SNA) explore relationship between patterns worker interaction situational awareness active projects United States. Specifically, (1) gathered level data from 18 crews involved diverse trades through field observations; (2) measured modeled among crew members using analysis; (3) related characteristics with capability crews. The results study provide strong evidence suggesting that well-connected higher density outperform poorly-connected identifying communicating As a result, it necessary practitioners not only implement traditional program elements but also efficient frequent all trades.
