Description

Reports the result of research investigating how five human resource management (HRM) practices at the organizational level (elaborate selection, extensive training, performance appraisal, high relative compensation, and empowerment) predict organizational injury rates. An objective of the study was to investigate whether these practices are related to workplace injury rates. Another objective of the study was to provide Alberta organizations with recommendations on how to enhance occupational safety.

Description

The OHS Futures Research Funding Program provided a grant to the researcher to investigate if a relationship exists between how long a firefighter has worked in the fire service and stress-related biological changes that can affect a person’s long-term health and well-being. In addition, the researcher attempted to determine whether a firefighter’s appraisal of their work demands (in the form of perceived stress) and their adaptive capacity (in terms of perceived social support) could influence how their length of service altered their physiology.

Description

The OHS Futures Research Funding Program provided a grant to the researcher to design an objective parameter to detect and quantify fatigue using purely kinematic information rather than electromyography (EMG)-based parameters, design and develop an experimental procedure to validate the new parameter against the EMG signal and rating of perceived exertion, experiment with various work condition scenarios to investigate the efficiency of the proposed kinematic parameter in muscle fatigue detection, and validate the accuracy of the wearable inertial measurement units (IMUs) in collecting the proposed kinematic (movement) parameter against the camera-based motion capture system for a long-term material handling task.
