the mornings that allowed us to address and deliver the toolbox talk at once in one place. This
allowed us to recruit many more workers per site, as well as provided us with enough time to conduct
toolbox talks and data collection without taking much of the company’s work time. This aspect is
very important as the construction managers do not like to see their workers participating in the study
during scheduled working time.
During our site visits, a few questions were raised by workers and Safety managers that we
would like to highlight in this report. Workers seemed interested in knowing more about the
combined effects of smoking and dust exposure.
Additionally, certain workers complained about not being provided with the right type of
PPE masks. Finally, some workers were interested in receiving health screenings on site, as most did
not have health insurance coverage. Safety managers were eager to collaborate in further studies,
including other topics of construction site health and safety.
Recommendations
We would recommend the study timeline to be modified in the following manner:
Recruitment of participants should be done through collaboration with the Safety Officer
during stand-down meetings one day prior to the toolbox talk. This provides participants with ample

Workers’ Smoking Status
Smoking status for workers, defined as current smokers, former smokers, and never smokers,
was determined by combining information regarding current smoking habits and whether they have
consumed 100 cigarettes in their life time. Smoking rates in this sample is slightly elevated
compared to Florida (22.8% vs 19.3%). Smoking was more prevalent in the control group than the
intervention group (28.0 vs 16.5%, p=.039, respectively). Overall, the intervention group had less
smoking history. No other differences were detected among other control variables, including union
status, OSHA training, education, or medical history.
A multivariable least squares regression was set up to assess any associations between the
intervention and personal protective equipment use and knowledge about silica after one week.
These models controlled for possible confounders such as safety training, smoking status, and
membership of a union. As shown in [Tables 1 and 2], the only factors that significantly predicted the
behavior and knowledge of workers one week after the intervention were the intervention itself and
exposure to dust.

BOLTS | Second Deliverable Report Page 12 of 15
In a separate analysis of the repeated measures of knowledge and behavior throughout the
different survey time-points of the study, an association surfaced with smoking status [Tables 3].
Multiple repeated measure ANOVAS were run, analyzing the relationship of smoking status on each
behavior outcome and knowledge question. Smoking status was only significantly associated with
use of PPE to prevent dust exposure in a model controlling for OSHA 10 and 30 training, education
level, union status, dust exposure from their work tasks. Former smokers exhibited worse behavior
patterns related to PPE use when compared to current or never smokers (Pr>|t| =.0081, .0069
respectively).

D. FUTURE IMPLICATIONS
Data collected in the BOLTS pilot project suggest that commercial construction workers exposed
to interactive toolbox talk on workplace silica and dust exposures are more likely to increase their use
of personal protective equipment (i.e. face mask) and identify greater relevant workplace sources of
dust/silica when compared to workers participating in a regular toolbox talk. Elements of adult
learning theory that incorporates facts and tangible, hands-on activities (i.e., air sampling exposures
levels) appears to improve worker safety behaviors and knowledge at least in the 1-week follow up
period. Future studies should consider moving from ambient air sampling at the worksite to
individual worker air sampling to provide a more personalized individual exposure level.
Furthermore, the follow up time period should be increased to 3-4 weeks post intervention in order to
ascertain the longer-term impact of the interactive toolbox talk on worker behavior. The BOLTS data
supports the idea the flat lecture-based toolbox talks may limit the impact the message has on worker
knowledge and behavior, although more rigorous study design and follow up periods are needed.
