We examined the effect of equipment proximity on the safe performance of 3 assembly workers in a manufacturing setting. After a baseline period in which protective eyewear was kept 6.1 m from employee workstations, task clarification was used to inform participants to wear their eyewear while they worked. Next, the eyewear was moved to 1.5 m from employee workstations. After a return to the 6.1-m condition, the eyewear was again positioned 1.5 m from workstations. Results indicate that task clarification alone was ineffective, but safe performance increased when eyewear was stored in close proximity to employees. A social validity measure suggested that safe performance among the employees increased to levels comparable to that of an exemplary employee.
我们研究了在制造环境中设备摆放位置与3名装配工人安全操作之间的关系。在基线期，防护眼镜放置在距离员工工作站6.1米处，之后通过任务说明告知参与者工作时需佩戴眼镜。接下来，将眼镜移至距离员工工作站1.5米处。在恢复到6.1米的放置条件后，眼镜再次放置在距离工作站1.5米处。结果表明，仅靠任务说明是无效的，但当眼镜放置在员工附近时，安全操作有所增加。一项社会效度测量表明，员工的安全操作提高到了与模范员工相当的水平。
