Agile Development of Innovative, Interactive Hazard Recognition and Mitigation Tools/Learning E-platforms for Workers Involved in Disaster Rescue and Recovery

The goal of this study is to assess Pocket Ark (PA), which is a mobile e-learning and assessment platform for use by flood remediation workers in the field. The purpose of the mobile application is to provide workers with real-time data to assist with making safe decisions during the planning phase in the flooded zone and provide a communications platform to improve logistics between operational bases and workers during and after the deployment to the flooded zone. Pocket Ark incorporates an action planner, scenario-based PPE training content, assessments (both knowledge and health-risk), personal security protection, and resource location features for workers involved in disaster rescue and recovery. Individual construction worker's readiness to be safely deployed to flooded and post-flood environments will be assessed.

Impact of a Major Organizational Change on Employee Productivity and Mental Health

The study investigates the short- and long-term impact of a major organizational change on employee health and productivity. Changes in organizations is a common aspect of modern work life in all sectors and public healthcare is no exception. However, emerging evidence suggests that organizational changes may be a potential stressor which can impact on employee well-being and contribute to stress-related health problems. Using a large-scale natural experiment, the overall aim of the study is to investigate the impact of a major organizational change that took place during 2016-19 on employee health and productivity. In addition, we aim to identify groups that may be at increased risk of experiencing negative consequences of the reorganization. These at-risk groups can in turn be candidates for extended preventive measures when planning future major organizational changes.
