“…In general, results after the OSP confirm the findings of previous literature, showing its positive effect on some safety performance determinants (Linker et al, 2005;Liao, 2014;Twisk et al, 2014). Overall, and regardless of the training method adopted, students presented lower risk acceptance levels, a higher trend for safety behaviors, a higher level of safety commitment and significantly increased safety knowledge after the OSP.…”

“…However, to assess a short-term effect, this timespan was considered sufficient. This procedure was previously adopted by Liao (2014). Furthermore, it was not the aim of this study to assess the effect of an OSP on behavioral changes, but only on the students' intentions to adopt some safe behaviors.…”

“…The literature describes some methods to be applied in training programmes aimed at the prevention of work accidents and diseases (see e.g. Burke et al, 2006;Lavack et al, 2008;Twisk et al, 2014;Liao, 2014); but still, there appears to be limited evidence about their effectiveness. While previous research in this field indicated its positive effect on safety indicators (see e.g.…”

“…While previous research in this field indicated its positive effect on safety indicators (see e.g. Linker et al, 2005;Liao, 2014), there is still no consensus about the real impact of an OSP or the factors that enhance its effectiveness. Furthermore, previous studies did not consider some important indicators related to safe behaviors, such as safety commitment and risk acceptance (Rodrigues et al, 2015a,b).…”

Strategies for incorporating proper training in occupational safety at secondary schools are important, since young workers are more likely to be injured at work. However, for a successful educational intervention, an effective Occupational Safety Programme (OSP) with appropriate training methods should be designed and implemented. This study intends to analyze and compare the effects of an OSP in students from diverse school settings, when different training methods are applied. An OSP was designed focusing on the risks related to handling machinery and maintenance tasks and delivered to 301 students from two secondary schools and two vocational schools from the North of Portugal. The sample was divided into three groups, and for each group, a different training method was applied: theory-based; demonstration-based or testimonies-based. To assess its effectiveness, a questionnaire was developed for evaluating the following dimensions: risk acceptance, safety commitment, intended safety behaviors and safety knowledge. The questionnaire was applied two weeks before and after the OSP. A significantly positive effect of the OSP was identified in all dimensions. Comparisons between the three methods showed a greater effect of the testimonies-based intervention in risk acceptance and intended safety behaviors; however, for safety knowledge and safety commitment this was the least effective method. The influence of school type was observed for the safety behaviors and safety commitment dimensions. In conclusion, this study's results suggested that more engaging methods had larger effects on student risk acceptance and intended safety behaviors, while expositive and demonstrative methods were more suitable to improve safety knowledge and commitment.
