Development and Reliability Review of an Assessment Tool to Measure Competency in the Seven Elements of the Risk Management Process: Part Three—Evaluation of the Group Results from the RISK Tool Open
This study used ratings to form teams of participants with different risk management competence levels to determine if a collectively optimised team performed a risk management exercise better than a marginally or a sub-optimised team. Thi…
Development and Reliability Review of an Assessment Tool to Measure Competency in the Seven Elements of the Risk Management Process: Part Two—Evaluation of the Individual Results from the RISKometric Tool Open
This study aims to test further the RISKometric previously developed by the authors. This paper is the second of three studies: it compares individuals’ RISKometric results in the first study with their performance in a risk scenario exerc…
A Path towards Sustainable Vehicle Automation: Willingness to Engage in Level 3 Automated Driving Open
This paper describes a driving simulator study exploring driver willingness to engage in automated driving. The study aimed to explore factors that may influence willingness to engage (WTE) in automated driving and willingness to resume co…
A Rider-Centered Critical Decision Method Study to Better Understand the Challenges to Further Uptake of Cycling Open
Despite the many benefits of cycling, there is still a widespread perception that riding bicycles on public roads is unsafe. There has been a substantial increase in cycling research over the past decade, but little work has explored the c…
First-Stage Evaluation of a Prototype Driver Distraction Human-Machine-Interface Warning System Open
Recent advances in vehicle technology permit the real-time monitoring of driver state to reduce distraction-related crashes, particularly within the heavy vehicle industry. Relatively little published research has evaluated the human machi…
Development and Reliability Review of an Assessment Tool to Measure Competency in the Seven Elements of the Risk Management Process: Part One—The RISKometric Open
Ineffective and inefficient workforce involvement can negatively impact risk management practice for work health and safety (WHS) issues. Often the risk management process is undertaken by a single person, or by teams without a facilitator…
Development and Validation of Plain English Interpretations of the Seven Elements of the Risk Management Process Open
A fundamental problem with risk management standards and other associated guiding documents is that the definitions and descriptors of the seven elements of the risk management process within these documents are commonly at odds with each …
Validation of a driving simulator for research into human factors issues of automated vehicles Open
This study evaluated the behavioural validity of the Monash University Accident Research Centre automation driving simulator for research into the human factors issues associated with automated driving. The study involved both on-road and …
Developing real-time solutions for driver drowsiness and distraction using a world-leading driver behaviour dataset Open
Road safety and road transport sectors acknowledge the need to address heavy vehicle safety, both in terms of reducing the number of crashes and the flow-on impacts on productivity. Advances in technology now enable transport operators to …
Human factors enablers and barriers for successful airway management – an in‐depth interview study Open
Summary Human factors are the individual, team, environmental and organisational aspects of the anaesthetic environment that affect performance and decision‐making of anaesthesia teams. This study aimed to identify which human factors were…
A Comparison of the Bow‐Tie and STAMP Approaches to Reduce the Risk of Surgical Instrument Retention Open
Although relatively rare, surgical instrument retention inside a patient following central venous catheterization still presents a significant risk. The research presented here compared two approaches to help reduce retention risk: Bow‐Tie…
Safety Benefits of Cooperative ITS and Automated Driving in Australia and New Zealand Open
Two rapidly developing technology areas, Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) and Automated Driving (AD) applications, are reputed to have a substantial impact on road trauma through the increased use of technology both to ass…
614 Can users’ opinions help to improve traffic calming interventions? Open
Background Traffic calming interventions attempt to reduce accidents, improve mobility of users and enhance the liveability of the local environment. Speed limit reductions and adaptation of the infrastructure are some actions frequently i…
Field Testing and Reliability Assessment of Video Based Fire Detection in Coal Mining and Coal Handling Environments Open
Previous laboratory test results and numerical modelling showed that Video Based Fire Detection (VBFD) offers a means of providing earlier fire detection compared with traditional carbon monoxide (CO) detectors in typical Australian underg…
RIO TINTO WEIPA: The value proposition of good work design Open
Investigations were undertaken at a North Queensland mining organisation with a high level of maturity associated with good work design and participatory ergonomics practices. Lead and lag indicator reports and industry award reports were …
Case study: process and outcome review of a participative ergonomics project in an asphalt production plant Open
Evidence supporting the benefits of participatory ergonomics is compelling. Ergonomics may improve productivity, mitigate high-risk activity, promote social connectedness, and inspire innovation. However, the practices are not well integra…
Human centred design of equipment: lessons from the mining industry Open
Human Centred Design (HCD) has been successfully used in the design of road vehicles, medical equipment and consumer products. It is now beginning to be applied in both the mining and the maritime domains. HCD also closely links with the U…
