A 6 week employment based seat belt program, without incentives, was evaluated to determine if it would increase the seat belt use of employees in an area with seat belt legislation. Results from questionnaires distributed to employees before and after the program indicated that attitudes towards seat belts changed very little. The results demonstrated that a seat belt program, conducted in the work place without incentives, can significantly increase seat belt use. Implications of the findings for future research are discussed.
