“…The steps in this stage are communicating the action plan and finding resources to perform the actions. A first requirement is that the people responsible for the actions, and those supposed to contribute to them, should be informed and have ownership of the actions [32]. Resources, especially time, money and human and technological capabilities, may be vital for performing the actions as intended.…”

Many incidents have occurred because organisations have failed to learn from lessons of the past. This means that there is room for improvement in the way organisations analyse incidents, generate measures to remedy identified weaknesses and prevent reoccurrence: the learning from incidents process. To improve that process, it is necessary to gain insight into the steps of this process and to identify factors that hinder learning (bottlenecks). This paper presents a model that enables organisations to analyse the steps in a learning from incidents process and to identify the bottlenecks. The study describes how this model is used in a survey and in 3 exploraorganisational learning incident survey learning potential case studies

“…The SOC approach has been evaluated by measuring progression through the various stages of change, post-intervention, assuming that those in more advanced stages will be more "risk aware" and therefore adopt less risky behaviour (Barrett et al, 2005;Whysall et al, 2006b). Other measures have included changes in selfreported body part discomfort or safety culture as indicators of effectiveness (Whysall et al, 2006b).…”

“…An understanding of the behaviour change process, and more specifically, its application in the development of workplace interventions, has been suggested as a means for improving the uptake of advice at both an individual and organizational level. [7][8][9][10][11] Behaviour change models, in which interventions are tailored according to an individual's readiness to change, have been widely used to improve the effectiveness of public health strategies such as smoking cessation and reducing alcohol consumption. 12,13 While originally developed to help eliminate individual, negative behaviours, several authors have suggested that this approach may be equally effective in the promotion of positive, organizational behaviour in the field of occupational healthprimarily in the reduction of musculoskeletal disorders.…”

Implementation of interventions to prevent musculoskeletal injury at work — lost in translation?

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders are a major cost burden to individuals, organizations, and society. While the contribution to injury of various factors is widely acknowledged, little is known about the translation of this knowledge from researchers to Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) practitioners, nor the implementation, and effectiveness, of injury prevention advice subsequently provided to organizations. It is widely acknowledged that a 'research-practice gap' exists and this is further complicated by difficulties evident in applying structured interventions to prevent injury in the workplace. Injury prevention advice commonly includes proposed changes to the work system, environment, and work practices. This requires a change in both organizational and individual behaviour. The structuring of injury prevention advice according to behaviour change principles has been proposed by researchers as a means for improving its effectiveness. However, there is little evidence that this has been adopted by OHS practitioners. The incorporation of such an approach as a means of structuring advice will, for many OHS practitioners, require a paradigm-shift. While most focus on the domain of practice in which they are most expert -the physical environment -the inclusion of a method to guide and structure their advice may improve its relevance to their client and its adoption and potential effectiveness. Ultimately, the translation of research findings into OHS professional practice will require an approach which will bridge the 'researcher-practice gap' by both actively engaging OHS practitioners in research and improving the dissemination of findings.
