“…Broader studies on offshore helicopter safety, however, are few (e.g. Hart, 2013; Herrera et al, 2010; Hokstad et al, 1999; Ingstad et al, 1990; Mitchell and Braithwaite, 2007). Herrara et al, Hokstad et al and Ingstad et al were part of a longitudinal Norwegian study and only Herrara et al studied risk perception, as did Mitchell and Braithwaite.…”

This qualitative case study compares labour and management risk perceptions of offshore helicopter transportation and worker participation in general and in two specific safety issues: survival suits and night flights. Verbatim transcripts of the parties’ testimony in a public inquiry into a fatal helicopter crash in 2009 were analysed with supplementary documentation. A persistent but shifting perceptual gap was found with limited worker and union involvement despite the accuracy of their perceptions. Potential explanations for this overall pattern focus on the social construction of risk: fateful moments, power differentiation, safety management systems, and balancing of production, safety and corporate reputation.

“…This orientation has important implications for the coverage and reporting of WE. Studies that focus on employee-related disclosures demonstrate that companies' CSR practices and reporting are heavily influenced by an instrumental orientation to CSR rather than a normative one [8,17,27].…”

“…First, there is a significant incongruity regarding what is reported about employee well-being and the actual practices and occurrences within organizations. Often, companies are reporting the positive aspects related to employees and excluding negative employee-related disclosures, such as serious injuries or employee dissatisfaction with work conditions [8][9][10]. Second, WE reporting has been shown to be incomplete.…”

Reporting within the Corridor of Conformance: Managerial Perspectives on Work Environment Disclosures in Corporate Social Responsibility Reporting

This paper examines managerial perspectives on work environment (WE) disclosures in corporate social responsibility (CSR) reports. WE encompasses all aspects of the design and management of the work system that affect the employees’ interactions with the workplace. The data are drawn from interviews with 20 CSR managers in large companies that are recognized as high performers in CSR. Managers reported that WE disclosures were an important part of CSR reporting and had several benefits—for example, it helped to maintain companies’ reputations as good places to work, which were of interest to both investors and potential employees. However, WE reporting was at a low level, focusing predominantly on occupational health and safety performance indicators, such as the number of employee injuries per year. We suggest that organizations derive legitimacy by reporting WE disclosures within a corridor of conformance that permits a low level of reporting and a great deal of latitude regarding what topics and how topics are disclosed, provided organizations meet institutional expectations. The corridor is maintained by an institutional environment in which, from participants’ perspectives, few external stakeholders were interested in WE disclosures representing employee well-being (e.g., psychological health) and the prevailing CSR reporting standards and guidelines provide scant information about employee health.

RESUMENEl uso de indicadores resulta una herramienta útil de evaluación en el desarrollo de estrategias de Responsabilidad Social Universitaria (RSU). Además, el cumplimiento con estándares internacionales para la elaboración de memorias de responsabilidad social ayuda a crear una visión integrada de la contribución de las organizaciones a la sostenibilidad. Ambas prácticas son cada vez más comunes en el ámbito universitario nacional. El objetivo de este artículo es elaborar una propuesta de indicadores de la RSU acorde con la versión más reciente de la "Guía para la elaboración de memorias de sostenibilidad" del Global Reporting Initiative. Para ello se han analizado comparativamente las dos últimas versiones de dicha Guía y una muestra de memorias de RSU de universidades españolas, además de las distintas propuestas nacionales que tratan de integrar las dimensiones educacionales en este tipo de informes.
