title: Results of implementing programmes for modifying unsafe behaviour in Polish companies.
abstract: This article presents the results of 3 Polish companies implementing programmes for modifying unsafe behaviour. Those programmes involved training workers and supervisors, and observing, registering and analysing the workers' behaviour. They focused on the quality of life and safety culture as factors key to the level of unsafe behaviour and, thus, to the level of safety in an organisation. To assess the effectiveness of the programmes, the quality of life and safety culture were studied before, during and after the intervention. The implementation of the programmes resulted in a higher level of safety culture and workers' well-being and fewer cases of unsafe behaviour. The improved level of safety culture and well-being was different in each company.
