TY - JOUR PY - 1984// TI - Improving safety through applied behavior analysis JO - Journal of safety research A1 - Wallin, Jerry A. A1 - Chhokar, JS SP - 141 EP - 151 VL - 15 IS - 4 N2 - This study reports an attempt to improve safety in an industrial plant through the use of applied behavior analysis. The behavioral safety performance of all employees of the plant was observed and recorded with a behavior observation instrument consisting of 35 specifically identified key behaviors. The applied behavior analysis package consisted of training, goal setting, and feedback, used with a withdrawal design. The results confirm the applicability of a behavioral approach to safety. Implications for measurement and evaluation of safety are also discussed.
