Summary
This summary is machine-generated.A new knowledge graph for fall-from-height accidents aids in designing better fall protection systems (FPS). This system structures accident data to improve safety planning and decision-making for work-at-height scenarios.
Area Of Science
- Occupational Safety and Health
- Artificial Intelligence in Engineering
- Knowledge Management Systems
Background
- Fall-from-height (FFH) accidents are a leading cause of workplace injuries and fatalities.
- Effective fall protection systems (FPS) are crucial for work-at-height (WAH) safety.
- Current FPS design and selection face challenges due to a lack of practical, structured data.
Purpose Of The Study
- To develop a specialized knowledge graph (FFH-KG) for fall-from-height accidents.
- To support the design and selection of effective fall protection systems (FPS).
- To provide empirical insights for improving safety planning and decision-making in WAH environments.
Main Methods
- A hybrid natural language processing approach combining manual extraction, entity recognition, text segmentation, and rule-based relation extraction.
- Development of an expert-defined ontology (schema layer) for grounding the knowledge graph.
- Integration of machine learning and large language models for text mining, categorizing fall types, refining WAH scenarios, and identifying fall causes.
Main Results
- Construction of a comprehensive FFH-KG with 2,200 entities and 4,820 relationships.
- The FFH-KG is built upon fall protection equipment standards and accident investigation reports.
- Validation of FFH-KG retrieval performance through three case studies, demonstrating its practical applicability.
Conclusions
- The FFH-KG serves as a valuable decision support system for FPS designers and safety professionals.
- It enhances the development of countermeasures by providing structured, empirical insights into FFH accidents.
- The research advances intelligent safety engineering and management across industries for WAH safety.

Survival trees are a non-parametric method used in survival analysis to model the relationship between a set of covariates and the time until an event of interest occurs, often referred to as the "time-to-event" or "survival time." This method is particularly useful when dealing with censored data, where the event has not occurred for some individuals by the end of the study period, or when the exact time of the event is unknown.

Scaled hydraulic models of dam spillways provide a practical way to replicate and study the intricate flow dynamics of these structures. Often built to a 1:15 ratio, these models allow for observing critical water behavior, such as velocity distribution, flow patterns, and energy dissipation.
Through this controlled setup, researchers can closely examine how water flows over the spillway, supporting a detailed analysis of its performance. A fundamental principle behind these models is using...
Machines are complex structures consisting of movable, pin-connected multi-force members that work together to transmit forces. Consider a lifting tong carrying a 100 kg load. It comprises movable sections DAF and CBG linked together with member AB.
Assuming the structure is symmetrical at point E, the force acting on member AB can be calculated.
First, a free-body diagram indicating the forces acting at point E is considered. The weight of the load that equals the mass times the acceleration...
Joints, also known as articulations, are classified based on their structural characteristics, i.e., based on whether the articulating surfaces of the adjacent bones are directly connected by fibrous connective tissue or cartilage, or whether the articulating surfaces contact each other within a fluid-filled joint cavity. These differences serve to divide the joints of the body into three structural classifications.
A fibrous joint is where the adjacent bones are united by fibrous connective...
A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.
When people learn new information, they adjust their schemata through two processes: assimilation and...
