About
Jonas Ekow Yankah is a prominent researcher in construction health and safety, with a specialized focus on the deployment of robotics and automation (R&A) to mitigate workplace hazards. His work critically examines the barriers to integrating advanced technologies into construction, identifying key impediments that prevent the industry from fully leveraging R&A for safer built environments. In his most-cited paper (34 citations), Yankah employs PLS-SEM to model these obstacles, offering a systematic framework for overcoming them. His research bridges the gap between technological innovation and practical safety outcomes, highlighting how robotic systems can execute hazardous tasks that are dangerous for human workers. By pinpointing critical success factors and deployment challenges, Yankah provides actionable insights for construction managers and policymakers. His contributions are vital for advancing occupational safety in one of the most perilous industries, and his work continues to influence both academic discourse and industry practices. Through rigorous empirical analysis, Yankah demonstrates a clear commitment to reducing construction-related injuries and fatalities, making him a key voice in the push toward a safer, more automated construction sector.
