Study on well-being measurement and safety in the construction and manufacturing industries

Abstract

In recent years, interest in well-being has been growing around the world. The phenomena is partly due to the influence of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This trend is spreading not only to the general public but also to the industrial sector. In the present study, we are linking well-being measurement with safety, and conducting demonstration experiments mainly in the construction and manufacturing industries. The results of the experiments revealed that well-being can also be used to improve safety. In the future, we plan to conduct research with a view to developing a safety education system for workers at workplaces.
