Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Work Hazard Exposure as Assessed by a SurveyBaseline, 4 weeks post intervention

Total score on the work hazard exposure survey ranges from 1 - 4, with a higher score indicating greater work hazard exposures. The data are reported as score at post-intervention minus score at baseline.

Change in Work Conditions as Assessed by a SurveyBaseline, 4 weeks post intervention

Total score on the work conditions survey ranges from 1 - 4, with a higher score indicating greater adverse work conditions. The data are reported as score at post-intervention minus score at baseline.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants That Implemented the Safety Plan as Assessed by a Survey4 weeks post intervention

Participants were asked if they implemented the safety plan and they were asked to answer as yes, no or partially

Change in Safety Practices as Assessed by a SurveyBaseline, 4 weeks post intervention

The score for each of the 22 safety practices items ranged from 1-4, with a higher score indicating greater safety practice. The total score for the complete scale consisting of all 22 items is the average of items responded to and also ranged from 1-4. Separate scores for each subscale were computed similarly. The first subscale consisted of eight items; the second consisted of four items, and the third consisted of three items--the score for each subscale ranged from 1-4, with a higher score indicating greater safety practice. There were seven original items that were not associated with the subscales derived from the factor analyses. The data are reported as scores at post-intervention minus scores at baseline.
