Casual Articles - Changing Behaviour; Lessons from Safety Training
One of our corporate flight attendant forum members started a thread recently about an upcoming 3 minute video interview she was to have.

Instead of going through the expense of flying you in and back for an interview, the video interview is used at least for the initial interview. Supposedly, if they like you, you’ll be brought in later for a face to face interview.Oddly, the length of this particular interview is only for 3 minutes and it seems that in this case the candidate will be providing a 180 second monologue with no d

Background checks are utilized by companies today to decide whether or not you will be permitted to work for them. Information in these reports can reveal many things about you to a prospective employer; it is critical that you be aware of what a company may uncover via a background check before one is conducted. You need to be aware of what steps you must take to protect yourself should negative information about you be uncovered.Background checks [or reports] can range from a corroborating an applicant's Social Security number to a detailed description of the prospective employee's history and friends. There are several bits of information that might be included in a background check. Please note
Changing people's behaviour with regard to safety is a time consuming, difficult business. General training does not have the immediate and emotional rewards of safety training. Changing people's behaviour without those rewards is even more difficult.
The lessons that organisations have learnt in making safety training effective are, therefore, all the more instructional for general training.
In particular, studies of the effectiveness of training which combined an understanding of human psychology with a review of actual training programmes have specific findings relevant to all training.
A study by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) in the US into the effectiveness training for carpenters to prevent hearing loss attempted to understand what limited training effectiveness and to redesign training to improve its effectiveness.

The way in which we work has changed dramatically over the last 50 years or so, with some authorities going as far as to say that the job is dead, while others are predicting that anyone over the age of 40 and out of work will never work again.Are these gloomy predictions true? The situation is not quite as grim as many would suggest, but nonetheless points to a growing trend in job insecurity. How can older workers and indeed, those just starting out, hope to deal with the changing job market?With so many people facing redundancy, the prevalence of short-term contracts and the trend in businesses to outsource not only peripheral tasks, but also core activities, the job market has become a sc

Welding is much more than taking two joints and soldering them together. It's a precise trade that requires proper training and education to perform safely and accurately. There's nothing "simple" about welding and, in fact, it can be quite a dangerous undertaking. Considering this, welding safety, including proper gear such as welding helmets, is vital for getting the job done right.The process of welding is especially dangerous for the eyes. This is so for several reasons, including the brightness of the arc, the ultraviolet and infrared rays it emits and the fact debris can sometimes fly loose. Inasmuch, no smart welder gets started without a good helmet.Knowing you need a welding helmet a

However, you’ve been employed because your boss believes you’re capable of getting on with the job in hand. Take a step back and look at the problem from another perspective, ask a colleague for help, be resourceful and check the internet or any other resources available.2. Provide solutions, not problemsSpend at least 10 minutes thinking of possible solutions to a problem before going to your boss. It will impress your boss if you go to them with a difficult problem (not something easily solved)… but then pull the rabbit out of the hat
Hearing loss in carpenters in the US is most simply described by the statement, "25 year olds have 45 year old ears". It is a big problem. Although carpenters surveyed understood that hearing loss was an industry problem, that it would affect them personally and believed that hearing protection could prevent hearing loss, they still did not actually wear hearing protection. They, therefore, still actually suffered hearing loss.
Training programmes had been effective in raising awareness but not changing behaviour.
The researchers used the theory of reasoned action (Ajzen and Fishbein, 1980) to understand the factors limiting the effectiveness of the training.
The basic tenet of the theory is that a person's behaviour is determined by their intention to perform the desired behaviour. This intention is determined by three things: their attitude toward the specific behaviour, their subjective norms and their perceived behavioural control.
People's attitudes are influenced by their beliefs about the behaviour, their subjective norms by their beliefs about how people they care about will view the behaviour and perceived behavioural control by their perception of their ability to perform a given behaviour.
The research revealed that carpenters beliefs included; that wearing hearing protection would stop them hearing warning signals such as
