ABSTRACT
Off-the-job safety is significant to the success of any safety program, since traffic-related deaths and injuries and injuries at home account for a substantial number of impaired workers and major medical claims each year. On-the-job safety activities should incorporate off-the-job examples and demonstrations, so that employees can relate the safety rules they learn at work to their other activities and carry over their safe behavior at home. On-the-job safety activities should have a dual purpose: to influence off-the-job behavior and, at the same time, to train employees for their on-the-job responsibilities. A major benefit of integrating on-the-job safety with off-the-job safety is that employees can apply safety training around the home when the examples used are related to their home environment. In addition to integrating safety activities on and off the job, sending of timely safety messages directly to employees' homes should be considered.
