“…The study also shows that safety climate indicators have a predictive capacity in relation to accidents, not only at the group or organizational level, as employed by Zohar and those inspired by his work (6,7,9,21), but also at a population level, where each respondent's answers represent five safety climate dimensions of a group or organization. Our results in particular relate to employees engaged in work that requires basic-level skills and likely others as well.…”

“…Numerous studies today explicitly or implicitly regard safety climate as a leading indicator capable of predicting safety outcomes (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). However, research on safety climate as a leading indicator for accidents specifically is still limited, as most empirical studies are retrospective rather than prospective, as shown in a 2009 review by Payne et al (11).…”

Objectives The capability of safety climate to predict accidents has been the target of widespread debate in occupational health and safety research. The objective of this prospective cohort study was to employ a shortened five-item safety climate survey to investigate whether safety climate reports in 2012 are predictive for accidents reported within the last 12 months in 2014. Methods In both 2012 and 2014, 3864 blue-collar workers answered the Danish Working Environment and Health Cohort Study. Logistic regression was used to study the association [odds ratio (OR)] of reporting a work-related accident (yes/no) with more than one day of sickness absence (outcome) within the last 12 months in 2014 with the number of safety climate problems (predictor). The analyses were cumulatively adjusted for age, gender (model 1), socioeconomic class, occupational group, lifestyle (model 2), and previous accidents in 2012 (model 3). Results Of the safety climate problems reported in 2012, 1017 (28%) participants reported one problem, 357 (10%) reported two and 614 (17%) reported three or more problems. Using the number of safety climate problems as a continuous variable, all models showed a dose-response relationship between number of safety climate problems in 2012 and at least one accident in 2014 (trend-test, P<0.001). Compared to participants with no safety climate problems, participants reporting two safety climate problems in 2012 had a higher risk for reporting an accident in 2014 [OR 1.84, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.22-2.77], and the risk was higher for participants reporting three or more safety problems (OR 2.22, 95% CI 1.60-3.09). Conclusions A higher number of safety climate problems progressively increased the OR for reporting at least one accident within the last 12 months at the two-year follow-up. The five-item safety climate survey is a simple and important tool that can be used as part of risk assessment in blue-collar workplaces.

“…This is an evidence of global lack of attention to mental health in working environments. Pousette et al, (2017) showed that the patient's safety climate and the occupational safety climate are very positive at the unit level, and organizational processes are important for the development of both types of organizational climate. So, interventions must be planned in the way, in which both patient as well as staff safeties are taken into account.…”

“…Also, mistakes and wilful transgressions that non-participation and noncompliance with safety guidelines use and the propensity to take risks characteristically lead to workplace accidents (Gibb et al, 2014;Griffin et al, 2015;Strauch, 2016). In the healthcare setting, cognitive workload (Choudhury et al, 2019) and a lack of management attention to the safety of HCWs have all been noted to be significant causes of poor safety performance (Carayon et al, 2015;Pousette et al, 2017).…”

This study employs an integrated model, combining management practices studies and social theories, to examine the safety management practices and behavioural safety of Jordanian nurses from public hospitals. Our research employs Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM) regression analysis to test the model. Hedonic value and utilitarian value are proposed as first-order reflective indicators of second-order formative value construct. The role of the work environment included for testing the difference in effect for all the relationship paths in the model. Data collected from 517 nurses present sound support for the research model. The results show that hospital management might help employees to practices of safety management, promote the positive work environment to enhance safety performance. The results also indicate that successfully investigated the associations between SMPs, work environment and safety performance in Jordanian Hospitals.
