worldwide every year and to cause many more cases of disability. The aim of this study was to determine the
effect of a training intervention on the implementation of an incident reporting system, perceived management
commitment to safety and employees motivation to report incidents in Isfahan Steel Company.
Methods: A quasi experimental research with case (185) and control (209) groups with measurements before
the implementation of the incident reporting system and one year later was used to evaluate the effect of training
intervention on the implementation of the incident reporting system, motivation to report incidents and perceived
management commitment to safety.
Results: The results showed that the implementation of the incident reporting system was more successful in
case group than the control group especially on reporting NM's, MI's. In case group, perceived line management
commitment to safety and employees motivation to report NM's, MI's significantly increased after the training
intervention.
Conclusion: Training intervention could promote implementation of the incident reporting system as a key factor
of management support. Although the study shows some encouraging results concerning the reporting NM's,
MI's, further studies are needed to evaluate whether the introduction of an incident reporting system with feedback
has an effect on the number of major incidents. | | | Keywords: Occupational injuries; Incident reporting system; Near miss; Training intervention, | |
