Sulzer-Azeroff

Research in behavioral safety was conducted in the United States in the 1970s and 1980s with documented (and often dramatic) reductions in injuries (Komaki, Barwick, and Scott, 1978 Sulzer-Azeroff and de Santamaria, 1980). Despite these successful studies, behavioral safety did not catch on and become common in the United States until the 1990s, when it became largely mainstream practice in many organizations. 

The last twelve bullets above are adapted from an article by Sulzer-Azeroff and Lischeid (1999) and may be viewed in more detail on Professor Cooper s website at www.behavioral-safety.com. Behavioral safety efforts must anticipate and overcome these barriers to succeed. The next section gives advice on specific success factors.
