The Relationship Between Safety Climate and Safety Performance Indicators: A Field Study

Öz:
In recent years, there has been an increased interest in studying the importance of human factors in occupational accidents. This study examines the relationship between safety climate and performance indicators. The study sample consists of 195 employees working in a manufacturing company. The analysis revealed a statistically significant positive relationship between the safety climate and safety behaviours, one of the safety performance indicators. This study’s results can guide relevant parties in increasing employees’ safety awareness, creating a safe working environment, and preventing occupational accidents.

Güvenlik İklimi ve Güvenlik Performansı Göstergeleri Arasındaki İlişki: Bir Alan Araştırması

Öz:
Son yıllarda iş kazalarında insan faktörünün öneminin araştırılmasına ilgi artmıştır. Bu çalışma güvenlik iklimi ile güvenlik performansı göstergeleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklemini bir imalat firmasındaki 195 çalışan oluşturmaktadır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda güvenlik iklimi ile güvenlik performansı göstergelerinden biri olan güvenlik davranışı arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı pozitif bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada elde edilen sonuçlar çalışanların güvenlik bilincinin artırılması, güvenli bir çalışma ortamının oluşturulması ve iş kazalarının önlenmesi konusunda ilgili taraflara rehberlik edebilir.
