The present study examines the self-reported frequency of non-lost work time workplace injuries ("microaccidents") and the frequency of three types of work-related safety behaviors (i.e., safety voice, safety compliance, and safety neglect) recalled over a four-week period.
We analyzed data on microaccidents and safety behaviors from 19,547 young workers (aged 15-25years, Mdn=18years; 55% male) from multiple Canadian provinces.
Approximately one-third of all young workers recalled experiencing at least one microaccident at work in the last four weeks. Comparisons across three age groups revealed that younger workers, particularly between the ages of 15-18, reported more frequent microaccidents, less safety voice, less safety compliance, and more safety neglect than workers aged 19-22. This pattern of results also held for comparisons between workers in 19-22 and 23-25 age groups, except for safety voice which did not differ between these two older age groups. In terms of gender, males and females reported the same frequency of microaccidents, but males reported more safety voice, more safety compliance, and more safety neglect than females did. The results and limitations of the present study are discussed.
Frequency of microaccidents and safety behavior vary among young worker age sub-groups.
本研究调查了自我报告的非误工时间工作场所受伤（“微事故”）的频率，以及回顾四周期间回忆起的三种与工作相关的安全行为（即安全发声、安全合规和安全忽视）的频率。
我们分析了来自加拿大多个省份的19547名年轻工人（年龄15 - 25岁，中位数 = 18岁；55%为男性）的微事故和安全行为数据。
在所有年轻工人中，约三分之一回忆起在过去四周内至少经历过一次工作中的微事故。对三个年龄组的比较显示，与19 - 22岁的工人相比，年轻工人，尤其是15 - 18岁的工人，报告的微事故更频繁，安全发声更少，安全合规性更低，安全忽视更多。除了安全发声在这两个较年长年龄组之间没有差异外，这种结果模式在19 - 22岁和23 - 25岁年龄组的工人比较中也成立。在性别方面，男性和女性报告的微事故频率相同，但男性报告的安全发声、安全合规和安全忽视比女性更多。本文讨论了研究结果和局限性。
微事故频率和安全行为在年轻工人年龄亚组中存在差异。
