Institution Of A Behavior-Based Safety System In A Mid-Sized Corporation, Donald Gary Brown Jan 2001

Institution Of A Behavior-Based Safety System In A Mid-Sized Corporation, Donald Gary Brown

All ETDs from UAB

A behavior-based safety system was instituted in a mid-sized corporation that employed approximately 650 individuals. The intervention consisted of training, observations, and feedback and used a time-series analysis with multiple baseness. One division received the intervention, while two other divisions served as concurrent baseness. Initially, the corporate safety team received training on the behavior-based safety system. They began conducting baseline observations in all three divisions in January 1998. In the division that received the intervention, the safety team began conducting baseline observations in April 1998 and the production personnel began their observations in June 1998. The other two divisional safety …

All ETDs from UAB

Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is a public health problem in the world. Carotene-rich foods may prevent VAD. We tested the effectiveness of mangoes on vitamin A status in a region with subclinical VAD. We randomized 176 rural Gambian children aged 2–7 y to receive 1 of 4 treatments: 75 g dried mango (rehydrated before eating) plus 5 g fat 5 d/wk for 4 mo (MF), ( n = 44); 75 g dried mango without fat 5 d/wk for 4 mo (M), ( n = 45); one 200,000 IU vitamin A capsule at baseline (A), ( n = 44); or one …
