“…For the latter group, there is “moderate evidence” that awareness campaigns improve compliance (based on three medium quality studies). Among the four studies, one evaluated an eye injury campaign for metal workers in Italy [Mancini et al, ], a second evaluated a noise awareness campaign in Sweden [Bjorkdahl et al, ], a third evaluated a child labor in agriculture campaign in New York [Gadomski et al, ], and a fourth evaluated a train‐the‐trainer program in California [Stokols et al, ].…”

“…Here is some evidence that even limited time devoted to managerial safety training can have an impact. A new study by Stokols, McMahan, Clitheroe, and Wells (2001) examined the effects of a management training 266 FLIN program on safety in 151 small-and medium-sized companies in California (33% were from manufacturing). They found that participation in the training program was associated with higher levels of corporate regulatory compliance in the following 12 months.…”

“…Safety practices to improve machine-related safety were addressed in 1 study (74). A managerial training program to enhance awareness and compliance was studied in California (76). All the training studies favored interventions (see figure 3) with a pooled risk estimate of OR 0.29, 95% CI 0.15-0.56, because there were few studies and different types of interventions the evidence according to GRADE was limited.…”
