The study examined the relationships between work experience and (a) safety perceptions, (b) job satisfaction, (c) compliance with safety management policies and (d) accident frequency. Participants were Ghanaian industrial workers (N = 320). They were divided into 2 cohorts: experienced and inexperienced workers. Workplace safety perceptions were assessed with Hayes et al.'s 50-item work safety scale. MANOVA was used to test for differences of statistical significance. Posterior comparison with t test consistently revealed significant differences between experienced cohorts and their inexperienced counterparts. Experienced workers indicated the best perceptions on safety, expressed the highest level of job satisfaction, were the most compliant with safety procedures and recorded the lowest accident frequency. From a practical perspective, analysing differences in work experience in relation to safety perceptions could be useful for organizations as the workers' experience could indicate a need for special safety programmes for particular groups.
本研究考察了工作经验与（a）安全感知、（b）工作满意度、（c）遵守安全管理政策和（d）事故频率之间的关系。参与者是加纳工业工人（N=320）。他们分为两组：有经验和无经验的工人。工作场所安全感知使用 Hayes 等人的 50 项工作安全量表进行评估。MANOVA 用于检验统计学意义上的差异。后验比较 t 检验一致显示，有经验组与无经验组之间存在显著差异。有经验的工人对安全的感知最好，表达了最高水平的工作满意度，对安全程序的遵守程度最高，记录的事故频率最低。从实际的角度来看，分析工作经验差异与安全感知之间的关系对组织可能是有用的，因为工人的经验可能表明需要为特定群体制定特殊的安全计划。
