“…Research has shown that increasing employee awareness of safety-related issues via training can improve the general safety climate in the workplace (e.g., McDiarmid & Condon, 2005;Williams, Purdy, Storey, & Nakhla, 2007). Similar to the safety climate, we expect that employees are likely to perceive a positive violence climate when they are informed about a comprehensive set of violence prevention policies.…”

“…In recent years, it has received a lot of research attention as safety climate is often regarded as a proactive approach to enhance and manage workplace safety. Indeed, studies have found that individual perceptions of safety climate not only work as the mechanism underlying the effects of safety training on worker compliance (McDiarmid & Condon, 2005), but they can also moderate the job insecurity-safety outcomes relationships (Probst, 2004). Additionally, individual perceptions of safety climate have been linked to important safety outcomes, including accidents (e.g., Hayes, Perander, Smecko, & Trask, 1998;Hofmann & Mark, 2006), injury (e.g., Huang, Ho, Smith, & Chen, 2006;Zacharatos, Barling, & Iverson, 2005), and physical and psychological strains (Goldenhar, Williams, & Swanson, 2003;Hayes et al, 1998).…”

Objective We evaluated the risk of first-trimester exposures among nurses and the risk of preterm birth among participants of the Nurses’ Health Study II. Study Design Log binomial regression was used to estimate the relative risk (RR) for preterm birth in relation to occupational risk factors, adjusting for age, parity, work schedule, physical factors, and exposures to chemicals and x-rays. Results Part-time work (<= 20 hours a week) was associated with a lower risk for preterm birth [RR=0.7, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.6–0.9]. Self-reported exposure to sterilizing agents was associated with an increased risk (RR=1.9, 95% CI = 1.1–3.4). Other exposures, including shift work, physical factors, anesthetic gases, antineoplastic drugs, antiviral drugs, and x-ray radiation were not associated with risk of preterm birth. Conclusions These data suggest that sterilizing agents may be related to preterm birth, while physically demanding work and work schedule are not strong predictors.
