Human factors play an important role in the management of occupational safety, especially in high-hazard workplaces such as commercial grain-handling facilities. Employee decision-making patterns represent an essential component of the safety system within a work environment. This research describes the process used to create a safety decision-making scenario to measure the process that grain-handling employees used to make choices in a safety-related work task. A sample of 160 employees completed safety decision-making simulations based on a hypothetical but realistic scenario in a grain-handling environment. Their choices and the information they used to make their choices were recorded. Although the employees emphasized safety information in their decision-making process, not all of their choices were safe choices. Factors influencing their choices are discussed, and implications for industry, management, and workers are shared.
人为因素在职业安全管理中起着重要作用,尤其是在商业谷物处理设施等高危险工作场所。员工的决策模式是工作环境中安全系统的重要组成部分。本研究描述了创建安全决策情景以衡量谷物处理员工在安全相关工作任务中做出选择的过程。160名员工的样本基于谷物处理环境中的一个假设但现实的情景完成了安全决策模拟。记录了他们的选择以及他们用于做出选择的信息。尽管员工在决策过程中强调安全信息,但并非他们所有的选择都是安全选择。讨论了影响他们选择的因素,并分享了对行业、管理层和工人的启示。
