In this study, a survey instrument was developed to measure safety climate. A review of the scientific literature as well as consultation with an expert panel was used to determine the survey’s dimensions. Next, the survey was administered, first as a pilot study (n = 15) and then as a full scale study (n = 229), to employees of the City of Cincinnati Department of Public Works. The psychometric integrity of the survey was assessed according to validity, reliability and utility criteria. Results are presented and discussed.

One of the most important ways to prevent accidents is to consider safety climate or culture. Moreover, some studies suggest that behavior contributes to 86%–96% of all injuries. This cross-sectional study took place in an Iranian petrochemical company in 2010. Vinodkumar and Bhasi's safety climate questionnaire and an ergonomic behavior sampling checklist were the data collection tools. Cronbach’s α for questionnaire reliability was .928. With reference to the results of a pilot study, a sample of 1755 was determined for behavior sampling. We used principal component analysis (PCA) to derive the coefficient of paths in the path model and the Anderson–Rabin method to calculate factor scores. The results showed that safety climate was an effective predictor of ergonomic behavior (p < .01). They also showed the importance of decreasing the number of workers with negative safety climate. Moreover, it is necessary to promote workers’ ergonomic behaviors in the workplace.

This paper attempts to replicate a safety climate model originally tested in Australia to assess its applicability in a different context: namely, across production workers in 22 medium-sized metal processing organizations in Austria. The model postulates that safety knowledge and safety motivation mediate the relation between safety climate on the one hand and safety compliance and participation on the other. Self-report data from 1075 employees were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results of the replication study largely confirmed the original safety climate model. However, in addition to indirect effects, direct links between safety climate and actual safety behavior were found.

Organizacje, które swoje funkcjonowanie oparły na działaniu zespołów, osiągają wyższą efektywność i lepiej radzą sobie z rozwiązywaniem problemów. Istotne znaczenie ma klimat pracy, który determinuje chęć członków do współpracy zarówno na rzecz realizacji zadań, jak i wzajemnego wsparcia (por. Edmondson, 1999; Huang i wsp., 2014; Zohar, Luria, 2005). Celem badań jest określenie związków między zasobami osobistymi w postaci orientacji pozytywnej i prężności psychicznej a psychologicznym klimatem bezpieczeństwa w zespole oraz wydajnością w pracy. Analiza statystyczna potwierdziła pozytywne związki wszystkich zmiennych w modelu oraz ujawniła, że orientacja pozytywna i prężność psychiczna stanowią istotne statystycznie predyktory wydajności, a także że psychologiczny klimat bezpieczeństwa w zespole pełni rolę częściowego mediatora w tej relacji.

Organizations that have based their functioning on teamwork achieve higher effectivity and are better at resolving problems. Work climate is of great importance as it determines employee willingness to work in a team both to accomplish tasks and for mutual support (compare with Edmondson, 1999; Huang et al., 2013; Zohar and Luria, 2005). The aim of the study was to investigate the relationships between personal resources (in the form of positive orientation and resiliency), psychological team safety climate, and job performance. Statistical analysis has confirmed positive correlations among all variables in the model. Positive orientation and psychological resilience are significant predictors of efficiency as well as the psychological safety climate in the team, which serve as a partial mediator in this relationship.

The paper aims to present safety culture as a major component of business management, and the role of shaping safety culture in company management. The concept of safety culture can be applied to society as a whole, or to an enterprise, as well as to individuals. The sense of personal responsibility for safety issues translates into the safety culture in enterprises. The study has applied a tool which allows to assess the safety climate, which indirectly allows monitoring the level of safety culture. The research in the safety climate allows to determine employees’ attitudes in the field of occupational health and safety, and to diagnose the procedures functioning in different organisations.

Celem artykułu jest ukazanie kultury bezpieczeństwa jako istotnego elementu zarządzania firmą, oraz roli, jaką odgrywa kształtowanie kultury bezpieczeństwa w zarządzaniu firmą. Pojęcie kultury bezpieczeństwa można odnieść zarówno do społeczeństwa czy przedsiębiorstwa, jak i do jednostki. Poczucie osobistej odpowiedzialności za sprawy bezpieczeństwa przekłada się na kulturę bezpieczeństwa w przedsiębiorstwach. W badaniach posłużono się narzędziem pozwalającym na ocenę klimatu bezpieczeństwa, co pośrednio pozwala na monitorowanie poziomu kultury bezpieczeństwa. Badanie klimatu bezpieczeństwa pozwala określić postawy pracowników w zakresie bezpieczeństwa i higieny pracy, a także diagnozuje procedury funkcjonujące w organizacjach.

Artykuł ukierunkowany jest na osiągnięcie dwóch podstawowych celów. Pierwszym z nich jest osadzenie określenia „kultura bezpieczeństwa” w szerszym kontekście pojęciowym wyznaczonym przez studia nad współczesnymi problemami pracy. Druga część tekstu zawiera wyniki badań prezentujących problematykę bezpieczeństwa z perspektywy samych marynarzy. Analizy te naświetlają potencjał dwóch strategii kreowania bezpieczeństwa pracy na statku, bazujących na ideach No-Blame Culture i Just Culture. Artykuł jako całość ma być wkładem w dyskusję nad problematyką bezpieczeństwa pracy na morzu.

EN

The article addresses two basic issues. The first is presenting the term safety culture in the broader conceptual context as delineated by studies on contemporary work problems. The second part of the text presents the results of research into questions of safety from the point of view of the seamen themselves. These analyses highlight the potential for two strategies aimed at enhancing safety on a ship—strategies based on ideas of the No–Blame Culture and the Just Culture. The article as a whole is meant to contribute to the discussion on work safety at sea.

The purpose of this study was to assess miners’ perceptions about the safety climate of their workplace. To achieve the research aim, the relationship between demographic characteristics and occupational hazards was first determined, and finally, the relationship of safety climate with occupational hazards and health-seeking behavior was discovered. The data was collected through a self-reporting questionnaire. The results revealed that the subjects have to deal with severe occupational hazards, and they possess poor health-seeking behavior. A safety climate assessment showed that only one of the seven dimensions (i.e. safety communication, learning, and trust in co-worker safety competence) was at a satisfactory level. With respect to the first objective, we found that age, education, and experience were statistically significant with occupational hazards, while marital status had no significant impact on occupational hazards. Regarding the second objective, three dimensions (management safety justice, safety communication, learning, and trust in co-worker safety competence, and workers’ trust in the efficacy of safety systems) were significant predictors of occupational hazards. The study reflects that workers’ participation is the main factor in setting up an adequate safety climate within the organization. Suggestions provided in this study could provide useful information to managers and safety practitioners to improve safety performance and promote the safety climate in the organization.
