The systems approach is increasingly used as a framework within which to examine safety climate. Utilizing a macroergonomics approach to design work systems can help identify aspects of human-technology-organization interfaces that impact workers' perceptions of safety, both positively and negatively. Such an approach also supplements traditional uses of safety climate as a leading indicator of safety and helps expand research toward an approach that can determine problems impacting safety. The purpose of this study was to develop a methodology that extends safety climate beyond just an overall score by using the framework of macroergonomics to examine the entire system in a more comprehensive manner. The proposed methodology can be used as a way to identify gaps in the specific work system, and this information can be used to design interventions to change the safety climate, and ultimately the culture, of an organization in order to reduce negative safety outcomes.
系统方法越来越多地被用作检查安全氛围的框架。利用宏观人体工程学方法来设计工作系统，可以帮助识别出影响工人对安全的感知的人机-组织界面的各个方面，无论是积极的还是消极的。这种方法还补充了传统上使用安全氛围作为安全领先指标的做法，并有助于将研究扩展到一种可以确定影响安全的问题的方法。本研究的目的是开发一种方法，该方法通过使用宏观人体工程学框架更全面地检查整个系统，将安全氛围的应用扩展到不仅仅是一个总体得分。所提出的方法可以用来识别特定工作系统中的差距，这些信息可以用来设计干预措施来改变安全氛围，最终改变组织的文化，以减少负面的安全结果。
