Identifying the Variables Contributing to At Risk Performance: Initial Evaluation of the Performance Diagnostic Checklist Safety (PDC Safety)
ABSTRACT We adapted the Performance Diagnostic Checklist to analyze the environmental events contributing to safe and at risk behaviors by employees in organizations. We then used the resulting tool, the Performance Diagnostic Checklist Safety (PDC Safety) to identify variables contributing to unsafe equipment usage by 3 members of a landscaping crew at a private university. Based on PDC Safety results, an intervention consisting of graphic feedback was implemented. The intervention increased safe performance for all participants.
