“…The role of demographic variables Among the demographic variables, a significant relationship was found between education level and safety culture (p = 0.002), education level and job stress (p = 0.006) and education level and job satisfaction (p = 0.011). The study results of Asivandzadeh et al (2020) showed that safety training effectively affects all components of safety culture and workers' empowerment concerning occupational risk perception. Also, a significant improvement in safety culture shows the important role of training interventions and technical interventions as key factors in improving the safety status of workers in the organization.…”

Safety culture as an organizational factor has an essential role in preventing occupational injuries and diseases. In this descriptive-analytical study, the relationship between organizational safety culture, job stress and satisfaction has been investigated to have a better understanding of the effect of this organizational factor on employee job stress and satisfaction. Three valid tools, including the Safety culture questionnaire, standard job stress questionnaire (JSQ), and Standard Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire, were used. The study population consisted of 210 workers working in 13 production halls of an automotive industry who were selected by a simple random sampling method. After data collecting, SPSS software version 22 was used for data analysis, and AMOS software version 24 was used for confirmatory factor analysis. The results show a significant relationship between trained and untrained groups and safety culture (p = 0.002), job stress and education level (p = 0.006), and job satisfaction and education level (p = 0.011). Safety culture score was significantly different in trained and untrained groups (p = 0.002). Factor analysis showed that a workplace with higher safety culture could lead to less job stress and more job satisfaction in employees. Based on the results, safety culture affects job satisfaction and job stress. Also, we found safety and health education is one of the factors affecting safety culture, job satisfaction, and stress. Safety culture could result in less job stress and more job satisfaction in employees. Improving it will improve the safety and health situation and ultimately increase job satisfaction and reduce job stress.

“…This study provides a framework for RP managers' macro-planning to protect workers and prevent occupational accidents. For instance, Asivandzadeh et al [31] showed that safety training significantly impacts all components of safety culture and empowers workers in relation to risk perception of hazardous work situations at height. Shezeen et al [32] verified that workload and accident experience have a positive effect and safety leadership and safety climate have a negative effect on cognitive and emotional risk perception.…”

Underground coal mines, one of the most dangerous work environments, have experienced accidents and disasters. One of the main reasons for those unsafe events is the workers’ poor understanding of the hazards and risks of working in this work environment. Therefore, the present study aims to identify factors affecting the safety risk perception of underground coal mine workers in Iran and investigate their cause-and-effect relationships. By reviewing the literature, 40 variables were identified in five categories: individual, organizational, environmental, task, and external factors. The identified variables were ranked according to the expert group’s opinion in the form of a fuzzy Delphi study regarding their effects on risk perception. In the next step, 23 variables were selected to investigate the cause-and-effect relationships using the DEMATEL method. The study’s findings showed that organizational factors and some individual factors play a fundamental role in workers’ risk perception. The variables of safety culture, safety management style, and safety attitude had the most significant impact, and the variables of personal protective equipment and risk aversion had the smallest impact on workers’ risk perception. The present study’s findings can be used as a guideline to provide effective solutions for managers and workers in improving safety risk perception, subsequently reducing unsafe behaviors and increasing the safety status of underground coal mines.
