Abstract

In recent years the usefulness of conventional safety measures has been challenged by a number of researchers who argue that, following the introduction of conventional safety measures, people change their behaviour in such a way as to negate the effectiveness of the safety measures. The evidence is reviewed and it is found that while there is some work which indicates that under particular circumstances people partially offset potential safety gains, overall, there is little support for the general claim that conventional safety measures fail to work.
