BACKGROUND
Safety climate, a group-level measure of workers' perceptions regarding management's safety priorities, has been suggested as a key predictor of safety outcomes. However, its relationship with actual injury rates is inconsistent. We posit that safety climate may instead be a parallel outcome of workplace safety practices, rather than a determinant of workers' safety behaviors or outcomes.
METHODS
Using a sample of 25 commercial construction companies in Colombia, selected by injury rate stratum (high, medium, low), we examined the relationship between workers' safety climate perceptions and safety management practices (SMPs) reported by safety officers.
RESULTS
Workers' perceptions of safety climate were independent of their own company's implementation of SMPs, as measured here, and its injury rates. However, injury rates were negatively related to the implementation of SMPs.
CONCLUSIONS
Safety management practices may be more important than workers' perceptions of safety climate as direct predictors of injury rates.
背景
安全氛围是衡量员工对管理层安全优先事项看法的一种群体层面的指标，已被认为是安全结果的关键预测因素。然而，其与实际受伤率之间的关系并不一致。我们认为，安全氛围可能反而是工作场所安全实践的一个平行结果，而非员工安全行为或结果的决定因素。
方法
我们从哥伦比亚的25家商业建筑公司中抽取样本，按照受伤率分层（高、中、低）进行选择，研究了员工对安全氛围的认知与安全管理人员报告的安全管理实践（SMPs）之间的关系。
结果
员工对安全氛围的认知与他们所在公司在此处衡量的安全管理实践的实施情况及其受伤率无关。然而，受伤率与安全管理实践的实施呈负相关。
结论
作为受伤率的直接预测因素，安全管理实践可能比员工对安全氛围的认知更为重要。
