The impact of sleep quality, fatigue and safety climate on the perceptions of accident risk among seafarers

Construction workers’ awareness of safety information depending on physical and mental load

The most prominent reason for worker accidents is unsafe behavior, particularly rooted in the inability to recognize and appropriately respond to the presence of hazards.

Situation Awareness in Offshore Drillers

Introduction: A critical human aspect in maintaining safety in industrial settings is the ability of workers to maintain Situation Awareness (SA). This cognitive skill is thought to influence…

Staying in the zone: offshore drillers' situation awareness.

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the cognitive components required for offshore drillers to develop and maintain situation awareness (SA) while controlling subsea hydrocarbon wells.…

Examining the Role of Fatigue and Cognitive Failures in Predicting Work Situation Awareness Among Employees of Pars Khodro Company

Introduction: Studies have shown that one of the factors affecting occupational injuries is employees’ awareness of work situation. Therefore, it is important to identify factors affecting…

It is concluded that occupational stressors have a negative effect on safety behaviour, while mental health and fatigue can operate as risk factors and it is recommended that organisations need to enhance remote oil and gas workers’ safety behaviour by encouraging them to effectively balance their stress, mental health, and level of fatigue.

Factors Affecting Safety Performance of Construction Workers: Safety Climate, Interpersonal Conflicts at Work, and Resilience

A safety plateau in safety performance has been observed in many countries or regions. In order to continuously improve safety performance, the key is to identifying factors affecting safety…

Operator situation awareness and physiological states during offshore well control scenarios

US research needs related to fatigue, sleep, and working hours among oil and gas extraction workers.

Further collaboration between researchers and OGE operators and contractors can lead to action-oriented recommendations to mitigate the effects of fatigue, inadequate sleep, and shiftwork.

The Role of Fatigue and Work Overload in Predicting Work Situation Awareness among Workers

Important factor in the prevention of industrial accidents involve of the ability of employees to maintain awareness of the work situation, understand the information it holds, and predict how…
