How a masterclass in nudges decreased railway worker injuries and improved work processes by 180%
Abstract
Railway workers incur a multitude of daily risks. From handling heavy-duty materials to exposure to noxious fumes, workplace safety and efficiency in railways necessitate strict adherence to rigorous safety standards. In order to overhaul their safety system, as well as improve efficiency and worker satisfaction, Danish railway giant DSB employed the help of behavioral science consultancy Krukow. Krukow employed a 4-step, experiential master class with leaders from DSB, who would apply nudges to their respective safety dilemmas. The results were fantastic, with workplace safety and efficiency climbing by 180%.
