“…Several studies have shown similar results, adding up to a quite robust relationship between safety climate and safety behaviour (Clarke, 2006, Christian et al, 2009. In general, this research show that those who perceive safety as valued and prioritized in their work community, display a more positive safety behaviour, including compliant behaviour, than those who perceive safety as less valued (Dahl and Kongsvik, 2018).…”

The aquaculture industry is economically important in Norway, and the production is expected to increase in the future. Employees at the fish farms face a high risk of accidents compared to employees in other industries and the focus on safety from both industry and researchers has increased during the last decade. Adding to the knowledge on safety in aquaculture, the objective of this paper is to study employees' perception of safety climate, and whether aspects related to safety climate may predict employees' compliance. Findings from two surveys aimed at managers and employees in different companies are analysed. The first is a telephone survey targeting employees and managers at the fish farms. The second is a web-based survey involving the onshore management level. The results show that employees at all levels have a positive perception of the safety climate, but they also illustrate challenges related to work pressure, maintenance and employee participation. Furthermore, the analysis shows that work pressure affects compliance negatively while participation and competence have positive associations with compliance. These results give input to some practical measures for safety management in the industry.

“…A general finding in the research is that the safety climate in a work community is associated with the work practices in the same community; a positive safety climate is related to compliance and participation in safety-promoting activities, and also mindful safety practices (Dahl and Kongsvik, 2018).…”

“…Weights Discussion. The combined results for the factor and subfactor weights were calculated using the AHP method [5]. As shown in Figure 3, safety education ( 2 ) represents the highest impact percentage on the safety production management level among all six factors ( 2 has the highest level in the global weight), followed by employee comprehension qualities ( 6 ), employee psychological behavior ( 1 ), working atmosphere ( 3 ), management factors ( 4 ), and equipment factors ( 5 ).…”

“…However, the working environment in an oilfield enterprise is often hot and noisy, and there is always a risk of burns [4]. Other potential risk factors include a lack of professional training, excessively heavy tasks, tight construction schedules, and work overload [5]. Every year, millions of safety production management accidents occur globally, causing immense suffering for the affected workers and their families and enormous losses to enterprises and ultimately nations [4].…”

To better guarantee the health and safety of employees and reduce the probability of occupational injuries and accidents, it is necessary to evaluate safety production management levels in enterprises. In this study, an evaluation index model was established for the safety production management of an oilfield enterprise. By utilizing an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE), this research is based on the characteristics of the oilfield enterprise and its behavior-based safety (BBS) management. A comparison of the results of two FCEs shows that the unsafe behaviors of employees were considerably reduced, and the safety production management level was significantly increased. The results of the case study also verify that combining the FCE model and the BBS approach is effective. The combination of the AHP and FCE method with BBS management support aims to improve safety behavior and increase safety training and the identification of critical unsafe behavior, thus reducing occupational injuries and accidents.

“…Since the 1990s, safety climate has often 46 been at the centre of safety research because there is considerable evidence that positive safety 47 climates are linked to improved safety behaviour and/or performance within organizations across 48 different industries. For instance, Dahl and Kongsvik (2018) reported that safety climate positively 49 predicts workers' mindful safety practices in the Norwegian oil and gas industry. Mindful safety 50 practices reflect workers' ability of identifying critical factors in the work environment and acting 51 appropriately if dangers arise (Dahl & Kongsvikm 2018).…”

How Organizational Support Can Cultivate a Multilevel Safety Climate in the Construction Industry

10Safety climate has a positive impact on safety performance in the construction industry; it is a 11 multilevel phenomenon that can be formed at organization and group levels especially in large 12 organizations with multilevel management structure. The study investigates how organizational 13 support cascades down to cultivate group-level safety climate at two time points over a two-year 14 period through the relationship with organization-level safety climate, supervisory safety-specific 15 transformation leadership, and co-worker support in a large US-based construction contractor. 16Structural equation modeling analysis on data from an online survey among 284 construction 17 professionals shows, different from prior research, that organizational support at one point in time 18does not directly predict subsequent group-level safety climate. Instead, it affects group-level safety 19 climate through the mediation effect of supervisory safety-specific transformation leadership and 20 organizational-level safety climate, and its moderation effect on the relationship between co-worker 21 support and group-level safety climate. Importantly, the results also suggest that safety-specific 22 transformational leadership may be an even more important predictor of group-level safety climate 23 than organizational-level safety climate and co-worker support. These results imply that organizations 24 support could focus on empowering leaders to demonstrate safety-specific transformational leadership 25 behaviors for the sake of enhancing group-level safety climate. 26 KEYWORDS 27Organizational support, safety climate, safety-specific transformational leadership, co-worker support, structural 28 equation modeling 29 30 31To explore the relationship between safety climate and safety performance, many studies in 58 construction have focused on the organization as the unit of analysis (e.g., He et al.,2016). Yet, 59organizations are social systems that are constructed through interdependencies between individuals 60 and subunits across an organizational hierarchy (Kozlowski & Klein, 2000). This hierarchy creates 61 micro-and macro-levels of safety climate. Consistent with the idea that organizations are multilevel 62 systems, Zohar and Luria (2005) proposed and tested a multilevel model of safety climate that 63 includes organization-level and group-level safety climate in a manufacturing context. Organization-64 level safety climate (OSC) arises from the formal organizational-wide policies and procedures 65 imposed by top management, while group-level safety climate (GSC) arises from the safety practices 66 associated with the implementation of organizational policies and procedures by front-line supervisors 67 in each workgroup. In particular, Zohar and Luria (2005) proved that OSC and GSC are two 68 distinguishable constructs. Further, the researchers found that the positive effect of OSC on safety 69 behaviors is fully mediated by GSC. The results provided a new multilevel approach to investigating 70 safety climate. 71 In ...
