We investigated the impact of using Mixed Reality (MR) technology as a training tool to help trainees identify safety risks during machine assembly tasks, by analyzing their task completion efficiency and safety risk estimation capabilities. As proof-of-concept, an interactive MR module on hydraulic gripper assembly was designed and incorporated in fluid power laboratories to be tested with mechanical engineering technology students. The developed MR environment was evaluated using accident causation models. An environment analysis revealed smooth operation and minimal challenges. Incorporating interactive MR modules into training programs allows practitioners to provide trainees with hands-on experience in a simulated environment while identifying potential safety risks. Addressing limitations, such as simulating physical feedback more accurately, will be crucial for optimizing future safety training effectiveness using MR technology.

We systematically examined the effect of obliquely-oriented shoe tread channels on traction performance, by manipulating tread angle, thickness, and gap width across 24 outsole designs. Through robotic slipping tribotesting and computational fluid dynamics modeling, outsoles with a tread inclination angle of 75 and 105 degrees, 2 mm tread thickness, and 5 mm gap width exhibited superior dry and wet traction. This work introduces experimental and computational techniques, offering potential for footwear manufacturers and those who prefer formal shoes to understand the effect of designs on the slip-resistance of a footwear for better safety.

Occupational applications Our analysis of construction firm accident data in Québec, Canada, spanning from January 2019 to June 2022, provides critical insights for ergonomics and human factors practitioners. The predominant accidents involved being struck by objects (31%) and falls (15%), with lacerations and bruises comprising 37% of injuries. Notably, carpenters had the highest accident rate (22%), prompting attention to task-specific safety measures. We also examined musculoskeletal injuries (MSI), finding that bodily reactions (46%) and overexertion (44%) were primary causes. Importantly, we qualitatively explored the potential of exoskeletons as possible proactive safety measures; our results suggested that in 50% of MSI cases, exoskeletons might have helped to mitigate or eliminate risks. These findings underscore the potential for exoskeletons to enhance safety and productivity in the construction industry, offering opportunities for intervention and preventive measures in ergonomics practice.

Falls from ladders remain a significant cause of injuries in workplaces as well as residential settings. While recent research reveals factors related to fall severity from a ladder, strategies that workers can adopt to minimize fall severity are not well understood. Results from our current study indicated that increased upper limb strength, achieving a higher hand hold, and controlled reestablishment of the foot on the rung have summative benefits to reduce fall severity and increase recovery from a misstep perturbation. Ensuring adequate upper limb strength among workers, and training workers to climb ladders leading with hand placement during ascent and foot placement during descent, can facilitate these beneficial strategies to arrest a ladder fall.
