Assessing the feasibility of preventing injury risks and improving work safety amongst factory workers in an urban slum: a participatory before-and-after intervention study

Abstract

Specific Objectives: 1. Explain dynamics of injury risk over time by: 1.1. Describing the circumstances of incidents leading to an injury (injury risks or dynamics of incident) 1.2. Describing the circumstances of near-miss incident where no injury or illness occurs (incident risks) 1.3. Measuring frequency and severity of injuries (burden) 1.4. Describe perceptions of risks amongst owner/manager/workers 2. Design acceptable interventions to reduce injury risks 3. Document intervention feasibility by: 3.1. Describing acceptability, capturing adherence to interventions and changes in risk perceptions 3.2. Describing practicality: 3.2.1. Documenting operational challenges and lessons learned 3.2.2. Capturing resources (human resources, time, materials and cost) of implementation 4. Describe any changes in worker safety behaviour and incident incidence rate
