It Won’t Happen to Me Picture This

What is wrong in this picture?

The recognition that unsafe behavior is a factor in the majority of workplace accidents has led to considerable research effort in the behavioral aspects of occupational health and safety, in this situation this group of workers are doing an unsafe procedure putting a construction worker in a high risk to get injured or it is more likely that he will end up dead from the terrible fall.

The first aid training makes participants more aware that their own behavior is an important factor in the avoidance of occupational injury and increase participants’ perceived probability that they would suffer an accident at work. The training also appeared to reduce participants’ willingness to accept prevailing levels of OHS risk and participants expressed a greater concern about taking risks and a stronger intention to avoid occupational injuries after undergoing first aid training. This change in behavioral intention was reflected in improvements in safety behavior observed in the categories of housekeeping, use of tools, personal protective equipment, and access to heights.
