SANTILLAN MERCADO, Milagros. Motivation Program to Reduce Occupational Accidents in a Manufacturing Company. Ind. data [online]. 2023, vol.26, n.2, pp.135-165.  Epub Dec 20, 2023. ISSN 1560-9146.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/idata.v26i2.24717.

the purpose of this research study was to determine whether implementing a motivation program could lead to a reduction in the rate of occupational accidents in the bakery plant of a manufacturing company based in Lima. The study followed a quasi-experimental approach and used a pretest/posttest design with a single group and a sample of 117 workers. The data collection methods included statistical data on work-related accidents, direct observations in the workplace, recording and monitoring of interactions, and a motivation questionnaire. The research results revealed that implementing the IPLEFOR motivation program-which spanned 21 months-led to a 100% reduction in the accident rate. Consequently, it led to a significant improvement in the occupational health and safety system.

Keywords : motivation; safety; intervention; occupational accidents.
