Title The effects of an informational safety campaign in the shipbuilding industry
Bibliographic information Apr. 1989, Vol.10, No.4, p.255-266. 14 ref.
Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of an informational safety campaign arranged in a shipbuilding company. The study design consisted of two intervention ships and two comparison ships. The campaign material, including slogan signboards with specific safety instructions, was developed within the company itself. Feedback about housekeeping was also provided during the campaign. The results indicate that the campaign was received well and the message could be recalled by the personnel. Yet no notable changes occurred in the number or seriousness of accidents.
