WVST- Harper Maryland- A new publication titled "An Adaptive Safety Incentives Framework for Construction Organisations in Developing Economies" has been released. It offers a fresh model to improve safety performance in the construction sector of developing countries.
The book is co-authored by Dr. Ogunbayo Babatunde Fatai, Officer-in-Charge of the College of Engineering and Technology at William V. S. Tubman University (TU), Dr. Kunle Elizah Ogundipe, a Post Doctoral Research Fellow at UJ, and Prof. Clinton Aigbavboa, the director of the CIDB Centre of Excellence at the University of Johannesburg (UJ).
The book presents a carefully developed and flexible framework aimed at strengthening safety culture, motivating workers, and building resilience in organizations. It includes evidence-based models, practical tools, and strategic insights suitable for construction environments with limited resources.
The publication arrived at an important time, shortly after Tubman University and the University of Johannesburg signed a five-year Memorandum of Understanding to encourage academic collaboration. This release further highlights the potential of TU and UJ to create research that tackles real-world challenges.
As Tubman University continues to expand its global presence, this new work showcases the growing contributions of African researchers to global construction safety research.
