Safety Management Practices and Safety Behaviour among Outdoor Participants

Abstract

Safety management practices(SMPs) and safety behaviour (SB) prevent accidents and injuries in outdoor activities. The study investigated the relationship between SMPs and SB among outdoor participants. Two hundred and fifty outdoor activity participants were respondents. Vinodkumar and Bhasi questionnaire was administered to the participants. Most respondents, comprising 49.4% (n=126), participated in outdoor activities once or twice a week. Results showed a moderate relationship between SMPs and SB (r (255) = 0.697, p<0.001). The study recommends that outdoor activities service providers should implement policies to safeguard participants to prevent accidents and injuries.
