| Abstract |
In a study of the influences of work groups on safety-related behaviour, 96 subjects were asked to select, from a range of 7 graded options, the level of personal protection they would adopt while performing a series of mechanical operations under adverse conditions. Subjects made their own private selections of personal protection, contributed to a group consensus selection, and then made a final private selection. After group discussion, selected levels of protection shifted in the direction of reduced protection, and these more risky selections were made with greater confidence. |
