CHAPTER 16 EMPLOYEE SAFETY AND HEALTH 573
January 2000, pp. 35 38. Note that personal
protective equipment can backfire.
As one expert says, making a job safer
with machine guards or PPE lowers people
s risk perceptions and thus can lead to
an increase in at-risk behavior. Therefore,
also train employees not to let their guard
down. E. Scott Geller, The Thinking and

99. Note that the vast majority of workers
injury-related deaths occur not at work,
but when the employees are off the job,
often at home. More employers, including
Johnson & Johnson, are therefore implementing
safety campaigns encouraging
employees to apply safe practices at home,
as well as at work. Katherine Torres,
