3. Conclusions
It is widely accepted that in a comprehensive occupational safety
program that addresses psychological, social, engineering, and
organizational concerns, the inclusion of effective behavior-change
processes can further promote worker safety and health. The purpose
of this paper was not to compare or evaluate the effectiveness of
behavior-change processes relative to other safety controls methods.
Instead, areas of research were highlighted to ultimately assist the
safety practitioner in making evidence-based selections of the most
appropriate and effective behavioral interventions when indeed they
are deemed necessary. When available, exemplar references to studies
were provided as springboards to future follow up studies. Hopefully,
this paper will help researchers conceptualize and organize the various
topics of behavioral safety research into a coherent framework that is
tied specifically to common intervention processes. If only a portion of
these topic areas and research questions are addressed through
systematic reviews, surveys, field interventions, and laboratorybased
studies, the knowledge gained will significantly improve the
delivery and effectiveness of behavioral safety interventions and thus
their impact on worker health and safety.
