“…Although many training programs are presumably intended for beginning drivers (McDonald et al, 2015), we provide evidence that these programs should be promoted among all novice drivers. A recent study found that even drivers with 30 years driving experience can benefit from a brief hazard perception training intervention (Horswill et al, 2013).…”

Novice driver training programs have been shown to change behaviors known to be linked to increases in crash risks, behaviors such as long glances inside the vehicle and failures to glance towards latent hazards. However, until recently no program had been shown to change the actual frequency of citations and crashes. The one program that has been shown to reduce crashes was delivered once, at the time of licensure, took only 17 minutes in length to complete, and addressed only hazard anticipation. We asked whether a training program that addressed both hazard anticipation and attention maintenance skills, Distractology 101, was roughly twice as long in length, and was delivered once in person and once over the internet would prove at least as effective, not only with drivers who had just received their license, but also drivers who had up to 36 months of experience. The results showed that this training program reduced citations and crashes significantly and similarly across drivers with different driving experience.

“…Previous studies have typically involved an exposed group who watch a video filmed from the perspective of the driver, including a number of hazardous events, accompanied by an expert commentary. However, the control group typically watches the same video in silence Horswill et al, 2013;Isler et al, 2009;McKenna et al, 2006;Poulsen et al, 2010;Wallis & Horswill, 2007), alongside some additional non-hazard relevant safety information in some cases (Horswill, Falconer, Pachana, Wetton, & Hill, 2015;Wetton et al, 2013), but with no additional hazard perception task. While a silent control group eliminates the possibility that commentary benefits are a result of mere exposure to hazards, it does not create conditions in which both the commentary and control groups have engaged exposure to hazards.…”

“…There is some evidence that training novice drivers in commentary driving techniques can lead to improvements in hazard responses in simulated driving (Crundall, Andrews, van Loon, & Chapman, 2010), and that simple video-based commentary exposure and/or practice can improve hazard perception (HP) responses (Horswill, Taylor, Newnam, Wetton, & Hill, 2013;Isler et al, 2009;McKenna, Horswill, & Alexander, 2006;Spolander, 1990;. Video-based commentary driver training is economical and easily accessible to drivers looking to improve their hazard perception skills; making it a desirable training method, providing it is effective.…”

“…Although typical commentary driver training would involve both exposure to an expert commentary and practice at producing a live driving commentary (Crundall et al, 2010;Horswill et al, 2013;Spolander, 1990), it is not clear whether both elements are key to realising any benefits of commentary training. Benefits have been observed when drivers are trained via exposure to commentary, without ever producing a commentary of their own (Castro et al, 2016, McKenna et al, 2006Wetton et al, 2013).…”

“…When benefits of video-based commentary exposure or full training have been shown relative to a control group, the control group has typically watched the same commentary video, but without any accompanying audio, so that they were exposed to the same visual materials but without any commentary exposure (Horswill, Kemala, Wetton, Scialfa, & Pachana, 2010;Horswill et al, 2013;Isler et al, 2009;McKenna et al, 2006;Poulsen, Horswill, Wetton, Hill, & Lim, 2010;Wallis & Horswill, 2007;Wetton et al, 2013).…”

Education and training play an increasingly meaningful role in recent research on Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) through the whole companies' supply chains. However, considering the extent of the subject, most research works focus on specific issues, which are not easily replicable in other contexts. Therefore, this work gathers the main results achieved by researchers and systematically identifies leading research paths and trends for future works. A review and systematic categorisation of the existent literature have deemed essential for achieving the scope. The Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) technique has been chosen to extract meaningful information on education and/or training and cluster articles, which have been grouped into eight topics. This analysis has brought out several key factors (industry hazards, workers' motivation, availability of technologies, etc.) that influence the success or failure of implementing OSH education and training programs. This work pays particular attention to human factors which, if effectively managed, would induce a great step forward for OSH education and training. There is still little or no evidence of education and training's effectiveness through time since monitoring the outcomes has been often neglected by the management. Nonetheless, Industry 4.0 technologies will help to fill this gap by enabling real-time and continuous tracking of outcomes, which will pave the way for several future works.
