This paper identifies the critical factors that influence the attitudes of
construction workers towards safe behaviour on construction sites. It studies
these attitudes by using a research model that links three themes: safety
management implementation strategies, attitudes of workers about safety and
behavioural factors displayed by construction workers. This model is used to
frame the responses ... hiện toàn bộ

paper is to investigate turnover incidents to observe prominent factors and
contribute to development of best practice guidance for improving health and
safety relatin... hiện toàn bộ
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to compare the predictive capability of
three methods of truck cycle time estimation in open‐pit mining: computer
simulation, artificial neural networks (NNs), and multiple regressions (MRs).
The aim is to determine the best method. The most common method currently used
is computer simulation.Design/methodology/approachTruck cycle times at a large
open pit mine ... hiện toàn bộ
