In the first phase, using a qualitative approach, in-depth interviews will identify the causes of unsafe behaviour in the petrochemical industry. The study is Mixed Methods Research (MMR) which will be carried out in two phases. One hundred seventy-six workers will be recruited to this study from an Iranian petrochemical industry. The intervention aims to both promote workers’ safe behaviour and reduce the rate of occupational accidents. This paper presents a protocol for an intervention study, using training sessions in combination with an educational software (application). There is limited research on understanding the barriers to promoting safe behaviour amongst petrochemical workers. Therefore, the most important strategy in reducing the rate of these accidents is training workers regarding safe behaviour and avoiding human error. Based on reported studies, approximately 90% of workplace accidents are due to unsafe behaviour and human error. The worldwide concern about safety has created a need for new and effective strategies to improve safety in the workplace.
