The study evaluated the effectiveness of an occupational safety training educational intervention on industrial textile workers in Borujerd, Iran, using a behavior modification approach and a quasi-experimental design. Significant improvements were found in all four groups within 1 and 3 months post intervention.
Behavioral modification is an inseparable part of a comprehensive accident prevention strategy in a workplace. This study reports a behavior modification approach applied to evaluate the effectiveness of an occupational safety training educational intervention on industrial textile workers in Borujerd, Iran. This research is a quasi-experimental Solomon four-group design participatory study conducted as a pre-test and post-test intervention. Totally, 85 workers participated in the study. The study was developed through a participatory approach, exclusively for the present research. In fact, we applied a combination concept of the PRECEDE-PROCEED model and the theory of planned behavior in planning and implementing the educational interventions. The results revealed significant improvements among all four groups within 1 and 3 months post intervention. The percentage of unsafe practices declined dramatically when the program was implemented. In conclusion, the appropriately developed educational intervention program led to improved safety practices among workers in the present study.
