Description
Concrete crews hurt the same body parts in the same tasks again and again, and a risk map could target protection better. Jiseon Lim and co-authors built that map in a 2024 study. Work was split into ten tasks across rebar work, formwork, and concrete placement. Six body parts, from head to ankle, were scored for each task. Over twenty-two hundred accident reports fed the chance scores, and expert surveys set the severity scores.
Wrist and hand injuries during rebar cutting and shaping topped the risk list. Scores were placed on one scale so tasks could be compared fairly. The map points safety spending at the worst task-body pairs first. The authors offer the frame for wider site use.
