Abstract
-
Behavioral safety interventions identify safe or at-risk components of individual job performance and use interventions focused on training, goal-setting, feedback, prompts, and recently, self-monitoring procedures to reduce at-risk performances. Modern technologies have introduced real-time video procedures as an addition to the self-monitoring techniques, which may increase the salience and effectiveness of the self-monitoring procedure. The present research used a nonconcurrent multiple-baseline across-participants experimental design to assess the effectiveness of real-time freeze-frame feedback on postural safety of computer users. Results showed that freeze-frame feedback effectively increased safety performance from baseline to intervention for most targeted postures. Contrary to expectations, the addition of a self-monitoring component for half of the participants led to a decrease in safety performance across most postural targets.
