Document Summary
Safety programs can be classifies as: engineering interventions: Change physical environment traduce hazard exposure: administrative interventions: Modify procedures and exposure in work environment: behavioural interventions: All three types of interventions can be successful. Engineering controls are preferred because they change the environment, but engineering controls are now always possible. It is important to understand safety behaviour in workplaces. Safety behaviours: behaviours leading to safe performance of a particular job, examples include: Increased awareness and recognition of workplace hazards. Acceptance and use of personal protective equipment: safety behaviours can be distinguished as: Safety compliance: the extent to which employees follow safety rules and procedures. Safety participation: the extent to which employees go beyond compliance and engage proactively and voluntarily to actively improve safety. Safety performance = ability x motivation x opportunity. Safety can be enhanced by increasing employees" abilities, motivation, and opportunities to work safely. All three model components must be implemented.
