Abstract

An industrial accident/injury primary prevention program similar to traditional "back school" training, but based upon educational psychology principles such as "transfer appropriate processing" and the use of "critical tasks," was conducted for a group of 110 workcrs at a major grocery distribution center. Occupational therapy prevention principles of environmental modification, work simplification, and proper body mechanics were emphasized. Workers and supervisors were trained in very small groups (4-6 persons) at their actual work stations. Results of the program were positive, and the program has continued to expand into a comprchensive accidentlinjury prevention project within the company.
