BACKGROUND
There is growing empirical evidence that as safety climate improves work site safety practice improve. Safety climate is often measured by asking workers about their perceptions of management commitment to safety. However, it is less common to include perceptions of their co-workers commitment to safety. While the involvement of management in safety is essential, working with co-workers who value and prioritize safety may be just as important.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate a concept of safety climate that focuses on top management, supervisors and co-workers commitment to safety, which is relatively new and untested in the United States construction industry.
METHODS
Survey data was collected from a cohort of 300 unionized construction workers in the United States. The significance of direct and indirect (mediation) effects among safety climate and safety behavior factors were evaluated via structural equation modeling.
RESULTS
Results indicated that safety climate was associated with safety behaviors on the job. More specifically, perceptions of co-workers commitment to safety was a mediator between both management commitment to safety climate factors and safety behaviors.
CONCLUSIONS
These results support workplace health and safety interventions that build and sustain safety climate and a commitment to safety amongst work teams.
背景
越来越多的实证证据表明，随着安全氛围的改善，工作场所的安全实践也会得到改善。安全氛围通常通过询问工人对管理层对安全的承诺的看法来衡量。然而，较少将工人对同事安全承诺的看法纳入考量。虽然管理层参与安全至关重要，但与重视安全并将其置于优先地位的同事合作可能同样重要。
目的
评估一种安全氛围概念，该概念侧重于高层管理人员、主管和同事对安全的承诺，这在美国建筑业中相对较新且未经测试。
方法
从美国300名加入工会的建筑工人队列中收集调查数据。通过结构方程模型评估安全氛围和安全行为因素之间直接和间接（中介）效应的显著性。
结果
结果表明，安全氛围与工作中的安全行为相关。更具体地说，对同事安全承诺的看法是管理层对安全氛围因素的承诺与安全行为之间的中介。
结论
这些结果支持旨在建立和维持安全氛围以及工作团队对安全的承诺的工作场所健康与安全干预措施。
