“…ICU mortality and Hosp mortality are presented as n (%). P value calculated by Kruskal–Wallis test or chi‐square test, except for SMR data for which the difference between the baseline and post‐implementation year was calculated as described previously 18, 19. *Difficult intubation was defined as more than three intubation efforts or an intubation duration of > 10 min.…”

“…Secondary outcome measures were ICU and hospital length of stay, and standardized mortality ratio. Furthermore, as evidence from other critical industries19 and clinical settings20, 21, 22, 23 suggests a positive relationship between safety climate and safety outcome, we measured the ICU's safety climate prior to and following the implementation year. Safety climate was determined by the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) using a Likert scale transformed to a 100‐point scale 24.…”

BackgroundHuman factors account for the majority of adverse events in both aviation and medicine. Human factors awareness training entitled “Crew Resource Management (CRM)” is associated with improved aviation safety. We determined whether implementation of CRM impacts outcome in critically ill patients.MethodsWe performed a prospective 3‐year cohort study in a 32‐bed ICU, admitting 2500–3000 patients yearly. At the end of the baseline year, all personnel received CRM training, followed by 1 year of implementation. The third year was defined as the clinical effect year. All 7271 patients admitted to the ICU in the study period were included.The primary outcome measure was ICU complication rate. Secondary outcome measures were ICU and hospital length of stay, and standardized mortality ratio.ResultsOccurrence of serious complications was 67.1/1000 patients and 66.4/1000 patients during the baseline and implementation year respectively, decreasing to 50.9/1000 patients in the post‐implementation year (P = 0.03). Adjusted odds ratios for occurrence of complications were 0.92 (95% CI 0.71‐1.19, P = 0.52) and 0.66 (95% CI 0.51‐0.87, P = 0.003) in the implementation and post‐implementation year. The incidence of cardiac arrests was 9.2/1000 patients and 8.3/1000 patients during the baseline and implementation year, decreasing to 3.5/1000 patients (P = 0.04) in the post‐implementation year, while cardiopulmonary resuscitation success rate increased from 19% to 55% and 67% (P = 0.02). Standardized mortality ratio decreased from 0.72 (95% CI 0.63‐0.81) in the baseline year to 0.60 (95% CI 0.53‐0.67) in the post‐implementation year (P = 0.04).ConclusionOur data indicate an association between CRM implementation and reduction in serious complications and lower mortality in critically ill patients.

“…These shared perceptions about safety values, norms, beliefs, practices, and principles of workers in their work environments have been technically termed safety climate (Cooper and Phillips, 2003;Silva et al, 2004). The importance of safety perception surveys can be gleaned from the literature (e.g., Cooper and Phillips, 2003;Silva et al, 2004).…”

“…A body of evidence thus exist which links safety perception to safety performances (Cooper and Phillips, 2003;Hofmann and Stetze, 1998), accident frequency (Guastello, 1999), job satisfaction (Gyekye, 2005), compliance with safety management polices (Gyekye, 2005;Probst, 2002;Probst and Brubaker, 2001), and work environment (DeJoy et al, 2004;Gyekye, 2006). The assumption that workers' demographical variables, particularly cognitive ability (education), job experience and age are major determinants of accident risk and safety permeates the accident and safety literature (e.g., Carder and Ragan, 2003;Hansen, 1989).…”

From a practical perspective, understanding the impact of education on perceptions of workplace safety would benefit management's decisions regarding workers' adaptability, general work effectiveness, accident frequency, implementation of safety management policies, and handling of education-related accident characteristics. The current study thus examined the relationship between educational attainment and (i) safety perception, (ii) job satisfaction, (iii) compliance with safety management policies, and (iv) accident frequency. Participants were Ghanaian industrial workers (N = 320) categorized into four educational groups based on their responses: basic education 50% (n = 159); secondary education, n = 98 (30%); vocational/professional education, 17% (n = 56); and university education, 3% (n = 7). Workplace safety perception was assessed with Hayes et al.'s 50-item Work Safety Scale (WSS): a scale that effectively captures the dimensions identified by safety experts to influence perceptions of workplace safety. Multivariate analysis (MANOVA) was used to test for differences of statistical significance. Posterior comparison with t-test consistently revealed significant differences between the two higher-educated cohorts and their lower-educated counterparts. The results indicated a positive association between education and safety perception. Higher-educated workers recorded the best perceptions on safety, indicated the highest level of job satisfaction, were the most compliant with safety procedures and recorded the lowest accident involvement rate.

“…Thus, it depends on place and time, also it refers to the perceived situation of HSE in special place and time, it is somehow unstable, and changes based on prevailing conditions [11]. Always there are different perceptions of HSE atmosphere between employees of various organizations and this difference could be considered as an evidence in different organizational culture of HSE and its situation, and management system efficiency [12].…”

Doubtlessly, noting the growth of industry and the criticality of the environment at the present time and the significance of protecting and preserving the resources to achieve the sustainable development, establishing the appropriate cultural mechanisms which can be able to confront the probable problems rationally besides understanding the biological and human resources for achieving the goals of sustainable development and establish matching with the conditions is so necessary. Today, the subject of HSE in the industry and creating its relevant cultural context in the developing countries is significant and it is necessary to assess its position at the organizational level in several sessions. Assessing the climate of HSE in an organization can depict a realistic picture of the staff understanding of the subject of HSE and their duties. The purpose of carrying out this study is to identify the main assessing factors of the climate of HSE in an organization and studying one of the industrial units in order to determine the position of them with a view to HSE. This descriptive-analytical study is being carried out based on the review of the literature and its results to identify the factors of HSE climate and then assessing the climate of HSE among the staff of a combined cycle power plant. The survey (questionnaire) contains forty-three questions and is adjusted based on the 9-point Likert Scale Eight factors are being determined by means of an appropriate correlation for assessing the HSE climate. The validity of the questionnaire was achieved by means of Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of 0.727 and the final result of the questionnaire evaluates an intermediate climate of HSE in the organization.
