“…Work environment refers to perceptions of the nature of the physical work environment. Many safety climate factors study have shown that good individual response to their individual risk and hazard correlate to overall safety climate .

Statistics in Malaysia show accident cases in the manufacturing industry is the highest as compared to another sector. The concept of safety climate gained interest in many industries as a means of reducing accident. This study assessed workers' perceptions toward safety climate factors, management commitment, communication, a priority of safety, safety rules procedures, social environment, supportive environment, involvement, personal priorities and need for safety, personal appreciation of risk, physical work environment, and lastly top management's commitment and priority. Safety Climate Assessment Toolkit and Zohar Safety Climate Questionnaires were used in this study. A cross‐sectional sample of 309 workers participated. Lowest total mean score was for a personal appreciation of risk (M = 5.41, SD = 1.03), supportive environment (M = 6.61, SD = 0.82), and physical work environment (M = 6.74, SD = 1.24). There was a significant difference between production and nonproduction workers for their perceptions toward involvement in safety (Z = 15.579, P < .001). From the correlation test, age, gender, education level, shift work, and the group were significantly correlated with the nine dimensions of safety climate. Lastly, workers' perception of how management prioritized safety is generally good. A total mean score is (4.89) from the 16 items of Zohar safety climate questionnaire which covers declarative, proactive, and active practices of their management.

“…The number of potential users of high-end scenarios is probably much larger than previously thought for the following reasons: Earth's Future 1. There is a lack of empirical literature that has elicited and documented risk preferences of coastal users in different social, economic, cultural and ethical contexts , as has been done in some other fields, such as occupational health and safety (e.g., Tchiehe & Gauthier, 2017), 3.

Many users do not initially formulate their requirements in a precise way: their need for high-end scenarios only becomes apparent in the process of adaptation as they question storylines involving sea level changes above the likely range and those which exceed their adaptive capacity.…”

Framework for High‐End Estimates of Sea Level Rise for Stakeholder Applications

et al. 2019

An approach to analyze high-end sea level rise is presented to provide a conceptual framework for high-end estimates as a function of time scale, thereby linking robust sea level science with stakeholder needs. Instead of developing and agreeing on a set of high-end sea level rise numbers or using an expert consultation, our effort is focused on the essential task of providing a generic conceptual framework for such discussions and demonstrating its feasibility to address this problem. In contrast, information about high-end sea level rise projections was derived previously either from a likely range emerging from the highest view of emissions in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment (currently the Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 scenario) or from independent ad hoc studies and expert solicitations. Ideally, users need high-end sea level information representing the upper tail of a single joint sea level frequency distribution, which considers all plausible yet unknown emission scenarios as well as involved physical mechanisms and natural variability of sea level, but this is not possible. In the absence of such information we propose a framework that would infer the required information from explicit conditional statements (lines of evidence) in combination with upper (plausible) physical bounds. This approach acknowledges the growing uncertainty in respective estimates with increasing time scale. It also allows consideration of the various levels of risk aversion of the diverse stakeholders who make coastal policy and adaptation decisions, while maintaining scientific rigor.

“…Transition to the project-oriented management of enterprises with regard to international principles about the organization of production is carried out through the creation, implementation and improvement of informational tools for supporting the processes of project initiation [1]. In many businesses and organizations, a significant share of their activities has a project character, especially in the provision of safe working conditions [2].…”
