A new qualitative research study, supported by Action Research (AR), seeks to validate the critical importance of safety training in reducing occupational injuries within high-risk industries. This initiative aims to uncover the root causes of workplace accidents by engaging directly with those on the front lines.
The study, led by researcher Dr. Carlos Arrow, uses a collaborative, participatory action research approach. Instead of a traditional top-down model, this method directly involves participants in a series of pilot studies. Through in-depth interviews, Dr. Arrow will gather rich, descriptive data to identify recurring themes and patterns related to safety challenges. The findings will be analyzed to provide a clear understanding of what drives injuries and how effective safety training can make a tangible difference.
