INTRODUCTION: Developing strategies for dealing with stressful and critical situations are very important. In traumatic conditions, people must first understand that preventive measures can be beneficial in dealing with these conditions (reducing perception of safety disability) and then, they have the expertise and skill to deal with these conditions (increasing perception of safety self-efficacy). This research was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of safety training on self-efficacy and perceived safety helplessness of employees.
METHODS: In this research, a total of 204 people (101 in experimental and 103 ones in control group) completed the questionnaires of Perceived Safety Self-efficiency and perceived safety helplessness scales of Cohen et al (1983) before a 4-hour safety training course in Isfahan Steel Company. Only the experimental group participated in this training course and approximately 30 days later, it was administered again to members of both groups. Finally, the results of the experimental and control groups were compared using descriptive and covariance statistics.
FINDINGS: According to the findings, the comparison between the two groups showed that safety training had a significant effect on reducing the perceived safety disability of employees, but it did not have a significant effect on improving their perceived safety self-efficacy.
CONCLUSION: The results of this research support the importance of evaluating the efficiency of safety training and its effectiveness on the variables related to occupational accidents.
