“…Specifically, organizational and group levels were correlated with trust, which consequently influenced risk acceptance indirectly. These results emphasize the importance of trust on risk management as suggested by Luria (2010) and by Jeffcott et al (2006). Trust on managers and supervisors can enable and enhance cooperation and communication, having a positive impact on safety climate (and safety culture) (Jeffcott et al 2006).…”

“…Trust on managers and supervisors can enable and enhance cooperation and communication, having a positive impact on safety climate (and safety culture) (Jeffcott et al 2006). In fact, when supervisors and managers create a relationship of trust with workers, conditions to a safe working environment are improved, because workers believe in the information and procedures given to them, giving more importance to safety, and consequently, leading to a high safety climate levels (Luria 2010). For the individual scale no relationship with trust was found.…”

Risk acceptance has been broadly discussed in relation to hazardous risk activities and/or technologies. A better understanding of risk acceptance in occupational settings is also important; however, studies on this topic are scarce. It seems important to understand the level of risk that stakeholders consider sufficiently low, how stakeholders form their opinion about risk, and why they adopt a certain attitude toward risk. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to examine risk acceptance in regard to occupational accidents in furniture industries. The safety climate analysis was conducted through the application of the Safety Climate in Wood Industries questionnaire. Judgments about risk acceptance, trust, risk perception, benefit perception, emotions, and moral values were measured. Several models were tested to explain occupational risk acceptance. The results showed that the level of risk acceptance decreased as the risk level increased. High-risk and death scenarios were assessed as unacceptable. Risk perception, emotions, and trust had an important influence on risk acceptance. Safety climate was correlated with risk acceptance and other variables that influence risk acceptance. These results are important for the risk assessment process in terms of defining risk acceptance criteria and strategies to reduce risks.

“…Furthermore, workers are motivated to follow the rules and procedures and to report any hazard or other nonconformity that they can find to their supervisor or manager. As a consequence, higher safety climate levels are expected in such situations (Luria 2010). However, it is important to note that this process can work in both directions, as safety climate can also have effects on trust (Jeffcott et al 2006).…”

This study aims to analyse the relationship between safety climate and the level of risk acceptance, as well as its relationship with workplace safety performance. The sample includes 14 companies and 403 workers. The safety climate assessment was performed by the application of a Safety Climate in Wood Industries questionnaire and safety performance was assessed with a checklist. Judgements about risk acceptance were measured through questionnaires together with four other variables: trust, risk perception, benefit perception and emotion. Safety climate was found to be correlated with workgroup safety performance, and it also plays an important role in workers' risk acceptance levels. Risk acceptance tends to be lower when safety climate scores of workgroups are high, and subsequently, their safety performance is better. These findings seem to be relevant, as they provide Occupational, Safety and Health practitioners with a better understanding of workers' risk acceptance levels and of the differences among workgroups.

“…Similarly, interpersonal trust in organization is necessary for caring about safety that managers have to gain the trust of employees and also behave respectfully to them (Ferjencik, & Slovackova, 2014). Furthermore, higher level of trust significantly predicts positive safety outcomes (Luria, 2010). Clearly, we can conclude that perceptions of trust in organizations influence safety behavior and safety related outcomes.…”

“…Based on this definition, many research pointed out the important role of employee's trust to the leader on their safety-specific behaviors. For instance, Luria (2010) found that as the level of trust to the leader increase, injury rate decreases, whereas perceived level and strength of safety climate in organization rises.…”

Abstract:Background: In the current study, the mediating roles of safety climate and trust in the relations between leadership styles which are transformational and transactional and safety outcomes which are safety compliance and safety participation are studied. Methods and Material: 101 blue-collar workers from a company in Zonguldak were participated in the study. Results: The results showed that transactional leadership is strongly associated with safety climate. As predicted, transformational leadership is found to be significantly correlated with safety participation. Conclusions: Moreover, transactional leadership is strongly correlated with safety compliance. Both safety climate and trust showed significant correlation with both of the safety outcomes. The mediating roles of trust and safety climate within the relations between transactional leadership and safety compliance and transformational leadership and safety participation are also found.
