Abstract
Several field studies are reviewed that evaluated the impact of various incentive- based programs to motivate safety belt use among employees of four industrial plants in Southwest Virginia. Innovative techniques were applied to study the impact of repeated interventions on the safety belt use of individuals and to evaluate response generalization (i.e., the use of safety belts at times when rewards for belt wearing are not available) and response maintenance (i.e., the continual use of safety belts after a safety belt incentive program is terminated).
