Implication

Randomized trial examines factory-like construction's effects on work efficiency and cognitive load in rebar workers, suggesting improved environments enhance safety and productivity.

Key Points

  • This study aims to determine how factory-like construction platforms impact workers' cognitive load and efficiency, especially in hot summer conditions.
  • Field and laboratory investigations assess differences in extraneous cognitive load and work efficiency with and without factory-like platforms.
  • The NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) measures subjective cognitive workload.
  • Task performance indicators evaluate workers' responses comprehensively.
  • Factory-like construction platforms improve performance and reduce extraneous cognitive load for rebar workers in summer.
  • Favorable conditions such as temperature, solar radiation, and brightness are noted, despite some increase in humidity and decrease in wind speed.
