Communication and coordination as drivers of safety behaviours and outcomes in coal-fired power plants.

ABSTRACT: Effective communication and coordination are vital for promoting safety in high-risk industries. While widely regarded as key drivers of safety behaviour, their direct and indirect effects on safety outcomes such as workplace accidents, near misses, fatalities, and lost-time injuries are not well understood, particularly in coal-fired power plants.
