“…In addition, management's commitment had significant correlation with age, which could indicate that aging has positive effect on attitude to management role in safety. In study of Shokohi et al, this association was significant (17). In this study, association between work experience and education with none of the domains was significant, which could be due to the effect of work experience and education on safety attitude shaping.…”

Background: Safety Climate is an issue that has received much attention in recent years. Evaluation of safety climate in a workplace gives us good information about the safety organization situation. Safety climate is a leading indicator in preventing accidents. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate safety climate and investigate of association between safety climate and demographic factors in an oil industry in summer of 2014. Materials and Methods:This cross-sectional descriptive-analytical research was conducted in an oil industry during summer of 2014. Sample size was 97 and used the Loughborough University Safety Climate Assessment Toolkit, which assesses safety climate in nine areas. Scoring in each area was done in Likert scale. Data analyzing was done after data collection. Results: Final scoring was done on a scale of one through ten. The highest scores were achieved in personal values (mean score, 8.7 ± 1.36) and lowest scores were achieved on the personal perception of risk (mean score, 5.4 ± 1.26). The mean safety climate score were 6.8. Significant associations were found between safety climate and age (P = 0.01), between age and management's commitment to safety (P = 0.02), and between marital status and regulations and guidelines (P = 0.04). The association of other domains with the age, education, and marital status were not significant (P > 0.05). Conclusions: Based on of this study, management has an important role in creating a positive safety climate. Individual characteristics can influence thee safety climate. Management commitment to safety is an important factor in the success of safety programs.

Background: Health, safety, environment (HSE)-management evaluation (ME) is a managerial tool used to control and improve the health, safety, and environmental performance in development programs and industrial projects or organizations. The present study aimed to evaluate HSE in the management of the hazardous wastes of an oil refinery in Tehran province, Iran based on the guidelines of oil and gas producers association OGP. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a HSE questionnaire and a checklist were completed based on the basic information of the organization, HSE documentation, and interviews with those involved in HSE-ME and waste management. The questionnaire was prepared based on the OGP guide and validated by a panel of HSE experts. Results: The refinery had favorable conditions, and all the items presented in the questionnaire were in the C and D ranges. In addition, the checklist results were indicative of favorable HSE and waste disposal conditions in the refinery. On the other hand, the physical, chemical, and biological risk of exposure to waste was not properly assessed in the company, which was a major setback to waste management. Conclusion: The refinery employees had moderate knowledge level regarding HSE-ME. Therefore, attempts must be made by the management of the organization in order to improve the issue through correct policies.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between safety attitudes and safety performance considering the mediating role of safety climate in the petrochemical industry. METHOD: The statistical population of this study included all 1700 employees in the petrochemical industry of Iran, among whom 320 were randomly selected as the participants and completed the research questionnaire. Then, the validity (content, convergent, and divergent) and reliability (Cronbach’s alpha and composite reliability) of the instrument were examined, and the research hypotheses were tested using Smart partial least squares (PLS) software. RESULTS: The results showed that the model has goodness of fit and, thereby, the positive effect of safety attitude on safety performance was confirmed. In addition, the mediating role of safety climate in the relationship between safety attitude and safety performance was proved. That is, 39.6% of the total effect of safety attitude on safety performance was explained through the mediating role of safety climate. CONCLUSION: The findings of this study can improve safety culture and bring about excellent safety performance in petrochemical industries.
