Examining the Role of Motivation in Occupational Health & Safety: Insights for Research & Practice

About the webinar:

Occupational health and safety motivation describes the internal and external factors that compel workers to behave safely in the workplace. This presentation will discuss the specific role of motivation in worker health and safety outcomes, focusing on implications for research and practice.

Learning Objectives

At the completion of this activity, the learner will be able to:

  • Define occupational health and safety motivation

  • Distinguish effectively between five types of occupational health and safety motivation

  • Demonstrate the importance of occupational health and safety motivation and how it impacts workplace health and safety outcomes
  • Formulate ideas regarding the implementation of occupational health and safety into research and practice

Speaker: Hannah Frame, BS, PhD Candidate

Ms. Hannah L. Frame is an Industrial Hygiene PhD Candidate in the Department of Environmental and Public Health Sciences at the University of Cincinnati. Her research focuses on occupational health and safety motivation, the impact of health and safety training on worker safety behavior and compliance with safety policies and procedures, and the use of extended reality (XR) and eye-tracking technologies to assess aviation worker health and safety outcomes. Her work probes the connection between focus during training and self-reported occupational health and safety motivation, and explores which environmental and training aspects can be modified to improve worker retention of safety knowledge and reduce injuries in critical care settings.
