Book Part Human-Centered Safety and Ergonomic Design for Women in High-Risk Industrial Occupations: A Systematic Review within Intelligent Systems Context(AHFE International, 2026) Aytac S.; Akalp H.G.; Yamankaradeniz N.; Arlı N.B.; Arlı, Nuran Bayram; Akalp, Hüsre Gizem; Aytac, Serpil; Yamankaradeniz, NurettinWomen’s participation in high-risk sectors such as mining, construction, transportation, and healthcare continues to increase, yet industrial safety and ergonomics remain dominated by gender-neutral design assumptions. This systematic review synthesizes evidence on physical, psychosocial, and organizational challenges faced by women in hazardous environments through a human-cantered systems lens. Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, 24 peer-reviewed studies (2010–2025) from Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed were analyzed. The literature highlights exposure to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), PPE mismatch, postural load, and inequitable access to safety resources. Thematic analysis reveals that ergonomic inequalities intersect with exclusion from safety training and organizational barriers in risk management. Findings underscore the need for interdisciplinary approaches integrating ergonomics, intelligent systems, and gender studies to enable safer and more inclusive workplaces for women in high-risk occupations. © 2026 The Authors.Book Part Evaluation Awareness: A University Example(AHFE International, 2025) Akalp H.G.; Saklangıç U.; Aytaç S.; Saklangıç, Uğur; Akalp, Hüsre Gizem; Aytaç, SerpilIndividuals’ fire safety awareness directly affects individual and institutional safety as well as social safety. Fires are among the serious dangers that can cause loss of life and property in workplaces. Fire safety is one of the basic safety precautions that should be taken in workplaces. Reducing fire risks and increasing employees’ awareness are of great importance in terms of occupational health and safety. Fire safety awareness is a critical issue in terms of preventing occupational accidents and directly affects the effectiveness of safety precautions taken in workplaces. This study aims to evaluate the fire safety awareness level of 163 people working in a higher education institution in Turkey and reached by random sampling method, to analyze the effectiveness of current training programs and precautions and thus to reveal what kind of precautions can be taken in terms of occupational safety. The results revealed that employees have a general awareness of fire safety but they lack knowledge about emergency procedures. Within the scope of the study, it was suggested that training programs within the institution should be increased and fire drills should be carried out regularly in order to increase fire safety awareness. © 2025.
