The present study, situated in the safety at work issue, is aimed to evaluate the risk perception and preventive behaviour (the use of individual protection devices) in the fire brigade work, with reference to the most typical risk for these workers: cylinder blast; fire and exhalation of toxic steam; road accidents; falls, cuts, contusions; stress and physical strain. To this end a psychosocial perspective is adopted and different dimensions of risk perception are considered.
Data were collected through a questionnaire filled in by 115 fire brigade workers and were statistically analysed to describe the risk perception about the different risks, to evaluate the relationship between the different dimensions of risk perception and to verify the variables that are more predictive of injuries.
Cylinder blast is perceived as the most severe risk and participants report to be more exposed and trained to this specific risk in comparison with others. Falls, cuts, contusions as well as stress and fatigue are considered to be contributing factors of injuries. Participants with previous injuries are more likely to report to be exposed (r = .23; p < .05) and to be in danger (r = .22; p < .05) to occupational risks and to report less compliance with individual protective devices (r = .23; p < .05).
Results show the relevance of promotion of safe-related behaviours among fire fighters and to take into account specific risk related to the job.
本研究围绕工作安全问题展开，旨在评估消防队工作中的风险认知和预防行为（个人防护设备的使用情况），涉及这些工作人员面临的最典型风险：气瓶爆炸；火灾和有毒蒸汽泄漏；道路事故；摔倒、割伤、挫伤；压力和身体劳损。为此，采用了社会心理学视角，并考虑了风险认知的不同维度。
通过115名消防队工作人员填写的问卷收集数据，并进行统计分析，以描述对不同风险的认知，评估风险认知不同维度之间的关系，并验证对受伤更具预测性的变量。
气瓶爆炸被视为最严重的风险，与其他风险相比，参与者表示对这一特定风险的暴露程度更高且接受的相关培训更多。摔倒、割伤、挫伤以及压力和疲劳被认为是受伤的促成因素。有过受伤经历的参与者更有可能报告暴露于职业风险中（r = 0.23；p < 0.05）以及处于危险中（r = 0.22；p < 0.05），并且报告对个人防护设备的依从性较低（r = 0.23；p < 0.05）。
结果表明在消防员中推广安全相关行为以及考虑与工作相关的特定风险具有重要意义。
