Safety proposal based on behavior for a public transport company in colombia. Continuation of a case study•

Abstract

An observational cross-sectional study was carried out with a descriptive approach in a probabilistic sample of 127 drivers with the aim of making a security proposal based on behavior for a public transport company in Colombia. The results show that the most frequent unsafe behaviors in drivers were speeding and not using directional signals. On average, 90% of drivers are aware of the risk of suffering from traffic accidents with deadly consequences when performing unsafe behaviors. The main reasons that drivers had to perform unsafe behaviors were lack of time and traveling without a bus attendant. The incentives that motivate a greater number of drivers to perform safe behaviours are rest time, receiving a bonus and recreation. The procedures of prevention that can produce a greater reduction of unsafe behaviors are: training plan, feedback, positive reinforcement and negative punishment.
