Reduzierung des Unfallrisikos auf Baustellen durch verhaltensorientierte Maßnahmen
... Behavior is shaped by the consequences for the future. Thus, behavior occurs more frequently in the future after positive consequences and less frequently in the future after negative consequences (Paffrath, 2005;Werner and Trunk, 2017). The task of managers in occupational safety is therefore to shape consequences in such a way that employees behave safely in the future. ...
... In contrast, elements of the monitoring model such as supervision (37.93%), control (32.76%) and inspection (3.45%) are mentioned in significantly more publications. The laws and regulations thus reflect that employee behavior is important and causal in the context of accident prevention, only they do not specify measures based on the application of the ABC-model, which according to scientists (Bördlein, 2015;Paffrath, 2005) There, reference is made only to DGUV Information 206-009 (Deutsche Gesetzliche ...
... The occupational safety authorities of the Federal Republic of Germany also partly use this model to explain the causes of accidents (BG Verkehr, 2019).The ABC-model also incorporates the monitoring model, the information model and the personality model, as it includes the elements of monitoring, information and sanctioning as "antecedent conditions" and "consequences" in its overall model. According toPaffrath (2005), the BBS (Behavior Based Safety) approaches have proven their worth in occupational safety and health. TheFigure number 11shows the result of the structuring qualitative content analysis. ...
This dissertation deals with the prevention of occupational accidents by motivating employees to behave safely. Through a literature review and a wide-ranging consideration of the problem, the terms are first examined and the state of the science in each area is highlighted. The main causes of occupational accidents are studied in depth and various models and methods are investigated with the aim of preventing accidents. Since the main causes of occupational accidents lie in the human error of employees and supervisors, models and methods are also examined that explicitly deal with changing human behavior and motivating people to behave safely. Since Ethics Management is known as a method for systematically influencing human behavior in companies, this method is examined in greater depth and parallels with occupational safety are shown. This thesis focuses on answering the question of whether Ethics Management in companies can help to motivate employees to behave safely and significantly reduce the number of accidents at work in companies. In order to investigate the research question in detail, a survey was carried out in German industrial companies with more than 250 employees, in which the companies were asked about their activities in the field of Ethics Management and about their accident rates. Various mathematical models were used to analyse the links between Ethics Management and accidents at work. The analysis showed that there is a significant correlation between maturity level of Ethics Management in the companies and the motivation of employees to behave safely. The study also figures out that some aspects of Ethics Management have a higher correlation with accident prevention than others. Finally, the dissertation points out that the implication of Ethics Management in a high-level structure of the ISO standards could serve for a better and more efficient implementation of Ethics Management in companies.

... Overall, the only publications in the German-language literature, which specifically mention the ABC model in connection with occupational safety, are published by Messner [30], Bördlein [12], Paffrath [20], BG Verkehr [22] and Bördlein and Zeitler [41]. The various models are not mentioned in the authoritative laws and regulations on occupational safety. ...
Human error is considered to be the main cause of occupational accidents, accounting for up to 96%. Four models are currently cited in the german-speaking world to explain human error in the area of occupational safety. With the exception of the ABC model, which is regarded as the only holistic, scientifically proven and practicable model for explaining the causes of human error in occupational accidents, the other models are controversial or are not considered adequate when used in isolation. A quantitative literature analysis of 56 legal texts, regulations and official notices from the field of occupational safety made it possible to investigate which methods are currently required by law to prevent the causes of occupational accidents in companies. It can be seen that the elements of the qualification method, with a share of approx. 76%, are the measures most frequently required by law.
