Unfortunately, field-intervention studies are challenging to design and conduct. They often are plagued by scheduling or workorganization conflicts, limited company resources, and other restrictions imposed by labor or management. If challenges or limitations are too difficult to overcome, then laboratory simulation studies may provide an alternative means to study a process element. For example, Johnston and Hayes (2005) provide a convincing case for the feasibility of laboratory simulations to study various components of the behavioral safety process. In their study, a computer simulation work task was used to investigate how different incentives affected the rate of at-risk behaviors and the reporting of those behaviors. Other investigators have used laboratory-based preparations to simulate occupational hazards and risks (Rubinsky & Smith, 1973) and variables associated with the observation and feedback processes (Alvero & Austin, 2004). These studies illustrate that laboratorysimulation studies can offer researchers controlled environments in which various features of the behavioral safety process can be dissected and systematically analyzed.
