Workplace injuries and fatalities have wide-reaching effects beyond the direct effects of injuries and often result in a wide array of negative outcomes for the workers, their families, and the organization. Behavioral safety is a sub-discipline of organizational behavior management that focuses on the identification of high-risk behaviors likely to result in injuries and the arrangement of organizational contingencies to support safer alternative behaviors. The first presentation will discuss a behavioral safety assessment conducted in a human service organization, the results of the assessment, and recommendations to improve internal reporting processes. The second presentation will describe the effects of artificial intelligence-enhanced video feedback on improving and maintaining ergonomic postural behaviors at a manufacturing facility. The third presentation will describe an exploratory investigation to evaluate whether improvements in postural behaviors generalized across settings and across tasks. Implications of behavioral safety approaches in the workplace will be discussed.
