The effects of brain stress, concentration, brain activity, and left and right brain imbalance on safety accidents were evaluated through brain wave measurements. In addition, the effects of cumulative fatigue, physical vitality, autonomic nerve health, and autonomic balance were identified through pulse wave measurements. Data were acquired for 180 construction workers at various construction sites, and the workers were classified into three grades according to factors that affected safety accidents at construction sites. Then, the safety consciousness and safety commitment levels of workers corresponding to each grade of the influence factors were evaluated by conducting a questionnaire on safety consciousness and safety commitment. As a result, the characteristics of brain and pulse waves required to improve safety consciousness and safety commitment ability of workers at construction sites were explored.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21082753","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,13]],"date-time":"2021-04-13T22:55:09Z","timestamp":1618354509000},"page":"2753","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Effect of Brain and Pulse Waves on Safety Consciousness and Safety Commitment of Workers at Construction Sites"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4006-8192","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Young-Jun","family":"Park","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering and Environmental Sciences, Korea Military Academy, Seoul KS013, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Un-Na","family":"Lim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brain Based Coaching &amp; Counseling Center, Seoul KS013, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2381-3146","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sangwoo","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering and Environmental Sciences, Korea Military Academy, Seoul KS013, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jae-Han","family":"Shin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Brain Education, University of Brain Education, Cheonan KS002, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Ministry of Employment and Labor (2017). 2017 Industrial Accident Analysis, Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency."},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"115","article-title":"An effect of safety leadership coaching program on safety behaviors of construction workers: Based on behavior based safety","volume":"33","author":"Lee","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
