: In Norwegian aquaculture, safer technology and better safety management systems have been developed during the last decade. Safety commitment and safe behavior are still vital to ensure a safe working environment. The objective of this paper is to explore what factors might influence the reporting of hazardous situations in aquaculture. The significance of factors on both the individual (work experience, position) and company/organizational level (company size, safety climate) was studied. It was hypothesized that reporting of hazardous situations was positively predicted by work experience, having the position as operational manager, company size, and safety climate.: The study is based on a quantitative questionnaire study involving 428 fish farmers, operational managers, and service vessel employees in the Norwegian aquaculture industry, interviewed by telephone. A purposive sampling procedure was employed. Correlation and hierarchical regression analyses were applied. The data quality was considered satisfactory.: Individual factors had no significant relationship with the reporting of hazardous situations. Company size and safety climate factors had positive associations with reporting. Larger companies might have more resources for safety management and the development of practical reporting solutions. A positive safety climate might increase the motivation for reporting.: Efforts by management to improve the safety climate can contribute to the reporting of hazardous events, continuous improvement of safety management and improvement of the safety level.
: 在过去十年中，挪威水产养殖业开发了更安全的技术和更好的安全管理系统。安全承诺和安全行为仍然是确保安全工作环境的关键。本文旨在探讨哪些因素可能会影响水产养殖中危险情况的报告。研究了个人（工作经验、职位）和公司/组织层面（公司规模、安全氛围）因素的重要性。假设危险情况的报告与工作经验、担任运营经理、公司规模和安全氛围呈正相关。: 该研究基于一项涉及挪威水产养殖业 428 名养鱼户、运营经理和服务船员工的定量问卷调查研究，通过电话进行了访谈。采用了有针对性的抽样程序。应用了相关性和分层回归分析。数据质量被认为是令人满意的。: 个人因素与危险情况的报告没有显著关系。公司规模和安全氛围因素与报告呈正相关。较大的公司可能拥有更多的安全管理资源和实用报告解决方案的开发资源。积极的安全氛围可能会增加报告的动机。: 管理层为改善安全氛围所做的努力有助于报告危险事件、持续改进安全管理和提高安全水平。
