National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, Japan
The Construction Safety Research Group studies the requirements for the safe conduct of construction work and improvement methods for the working environment at construction sites. The main subjects of the research are safety in temporary work, safety in earthwork, prevention of accidents involving falls, and safety assessment of newly developed methods of construction work.
Full scale roof system for safety evaluation of falling.
Performance test of temporary structures.
Blasting test at tunnel cutting face of model ground.
Full scale model test on simulation of slope failure by excavations a) Excavation by construction machinery, b) Partially excavated slope, c) Failure after 24 minutes of time lag.
The study on potential risk of overturning in drill rigs while self propelling on unstable supporting ground inconstruction sites.
