Training workers and reducing the rate of accidents: A proposal inspired by the chronic care model

Abstract The construction field has an accident rate higher than those of other industries. Due to this fact, a bibliographical study was carried out in order to put forward innovative training methodologies in occupational health and safety as a means of reducing accident rates. A single methodolog...
