In 2009 there were 3.28 million non-fatal occupational injuries and illnesses (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2010). Of these injuries and illnesses, 965,000 resulted in lost days from work. In addition there were 4,340 workplace fatalities. Given the number of occupational injuries, illnesses, and fatalities, and the associated direct and indirect costs, organizations have sought to improve safety at work. Safety climate and safety motivation are two variables hypothesized to affect safety behaviors and safety outcomes. Safety climate refers to the shared perceptions of workgroup members, of the organizations' commitment to safety as evidenced by heir immediate supervisors' pattern of implementing safety policies and procedures (Zohar, 2003). Therefore, the workgroup supervisor plays an major role in the development of safety climate. Social exchange theory and previous studies of leadership styles and safety suggest that supervisors who convey concern for subordinates' well-being increase workers' motivation to reciprocate by increasing their safe behaviors at work. However, no

“…DeJoy, Murphy and Gershon's analyses in health care settings [5], Diaz and Cabrera's analyses on airport ground handling operations [6] and Niskanen's study on road administration [7] are examples of such studies. Additionally, comparative analyses between managers' and employees' perceptions [4], high-and lowaccident organizations [3], individual-and organizational-level climate perceptions [8,9] and between blue-and white-collar workers [10] have been carried out.…”

“…In brief, safety climate can be interpreted as a ''snapshot'' of the safety culture at a given time. It has been found in previous studies that safety practice/performance of an organization is positively correlated to the safety culture of that organization (Kao, Stewart, & Lee, 2009;Niskanen, 1994;Varonen & Mattila, 2000), which explains the sheer amount of literature on safety culture and safety climate in various domains.…”

A healthy safety culture is essential to the safe operation of any aviation organization, including flight schools. This study aimed to assess the safety climate of an Australian tertiary (collegiate) aviation program using a self-constructed instrument. Factor analysis of the instrument identified four safety themes, which are Safety Reporting Culture, Safety Reporting Procedure, Organizational Culture and Practice, and General Safety Knowledge. The responses of student pilots suggested that the overall safety climate of the subject flight training academy was healthy at the time of the survey. Further analyses found that perceptions of students of different year groups on Reporting Culture and Organizational Culture and Practices were significantly different from each other, with the first-year students responding more positively. Besides addressing the safety climate of the subject flight training academy, this study also provided a template and a benchmark for other tertiary (collegiate) aviation programs to assess their own safety climate.
