Outline of Final Research Achievements

Although many psychological studies have reported on mechanisms of unsafe behaviors, such as human error and violation of safety rules, few studies have focused on safety education that aims to decrease such behaviors. The purpose of this paper was to examine the effectiveness of experience-based safety education about unsafe behaviors, using the human-error-inducing program developed by Usui (2008).
Eighty-seven firemen experienced the PC-based program about either distraction or violation. Results showed that participants reported improvement in their attitude to risk-taking in daily life after the education, and decreases in violation and risk-taking approximately six months after the education. From these results, it was shown that the error experiencing program is effective for deterring intentional unsafe behaviors such as violation.
