The Impact

BackgroundThere is growing evidence regarding the importance of contextual factors for patient/staff outcomes and the likelihood of successfully implementing safety improvement interventions such as checklists; however, certain literature gaps still remain—for example, lack of research examining the interactive effects of safety constructs on outcomes. This study has addressed some of these gaps, together with adding to our understanding of how context influences safety.PurposeThe impact of staff perceptions of safety climate (ie, senior and supervisory leadership support for safety) and teamwork climate on a self-reported safety outcome (ie, overall perceptions of patient safety (PS)) were examined at a hospital in Southern Ontario.MethodsCross-sectional survey data were collected from nurses, allied health professionals and unit clerks working on intensive care, general medicine, mental health or emergency department.ResultsHierarchical regression analyses showed that perceptions of senior leadership (p<0.001) and teamwork (p<0.001) were significantly associated with overall perceptions of PS. A non-significant association was found between perceptions of supervisory leadership and the outcome variable. However, when staff perceived poorer senior leadership support for safety, the positive effect of supervisory leadership on overall perceptions of PS became significantly stronger (p<0.05).Practice implicationsOur results suggest that leadership support at one level (ie, supervisory) can substitute for the absence of leadership support for safety at another level (ie, senior level). While healthcare organisations should recruit into leadership roles and retain individuals who prioritise safety and possess adequate relational competencies, the field would now benefit from evidence regarding how to build leadership support for PS. Also, it is important to provide on-site workshops on topics (eg, conflict management) that can strengthen working relationships across professional and unit boundaries.

Purpose – The repair, maintenance, minor alteration and addition (RMAA) sector has been expanding in many developed cities. Safety problems of the RMAA sector have attracted the attention of many governments. This study has the objectives of comparing the level of safety climate of workers, supervisors and managers in the RMAA sector; and explaining/predicting the impact of safety climate on injury occurrence of workers, supervisors and managers. Design/methodology/approach – A questionnaire survey was administered to RMAA contracting companies in Hong Kong. Findings – When comparing the safety climate perception of workers, supervisors and managers in the RMAA sector, the supervisors group had the lowest mean safety climate score. Results showed that a positive workforce safety attitude and acceptance of safety rules and regulations reduced the workers' likelihood of having injuries. A reasonable production schedule led to a lower probability of supervisors being injured. Management commitment and effective safety management reduced the probability of managers being injured. Originality/value – This study revealed variations of safety climate at the different levels in the organizational hierarchy and their varying influence on safety performance of the RMAA sector. Safety of RMAA works could be improved by promulgating specific safety measures at the different hierarchy levels.

The Impact

The importance of safety climate on safety performance in construction has been highly acknowledged, and the definitions and elements of safety climate have been widely discussed over the years. However, researches about how to improve constructions safety climate have been less focused. The aim of this study was to find the impact of social capital on safety climate. A questionnaire of social capital and safety climate was conducted by 316 employees from 45 construction sites, and an empirical analysis was made by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and structural model theory (SEM). The results showed that: the cognitive dimension and relational dimension of social capital are significantly positive correlation to safety climate, while the structural dimension is not significant. The findings of this study provide useful information to improve safety climate for construction enterprises.

Abstract Background: We aimed to monitor hand hygiene (HH) of health professionals in three critical sectors of a university hospital, to verify the physical structure of these units for HH, gloves use and perception of professionals regarding the patient's safety climate Methods: An observational, correlational study, conducted in critical sectors of a hospital. The study population consisted of nurses, nursing technicians, physicians, resident physicians and physiotherapists. The data were collected through four questionnaires to evaluate HH, factors related to adherence to it and sociodemographic characteristics. Results: A total of 148 professionals and 3.025 opportunities for HH were observed. Adherence to HH was higher among nurses when compared to nursing professionals (p <0.05), and there was a difference between different sectors (p <0.05). Professionals who previously participated in training had greater adherence (47.79% CI95% 45.38-50.20) to HH than professionals who did not participate (44.62% CI95% 41.95-47.29). There was a statistical difference between the perception of the security climate and the type of employment bond of the professional, as well as the sector in which it operates. Conclusion: Adherence to HH was affected and / or influenced by the physical structure, use of procedure gloves, work regimen and perceived patient safety climate.

This study examined safety perceptions of manufacturing employees involved in a safety behavioral modification process, and the perceptions of employees who are not involved in the same process, based on the idea that such a process helps to decrease injuries in the workplace.  The Neal-Griffin Safety Climate/Safety Performance Instrument was used in a specific workplace to determine if race, gender, and age affect employees’ perceptions of safety in an industrial/manufacturing setting.  The results of this quantitative study found that, overall, the vast majority of the workers, regardless of demographic group membership, provided relatively high survey ratings, which indicate that they had positive perceptions regarding their company’s safety procedures and miscellaneous safety issues.
