Safety Climate Level as a Tool Aiding Safety Management in a Production Facility

AbstractThe article presents results of a safety climate research in a production facility. Assuming that work safety is correlated with safety climate it can be argued that by shaping the climate, which includes worker's comfort and beliefs regarding work safety management, one can efficiently manage organization's safety. So far it has been stated several times that workers’ tiredness and their mood can be a cause of their mistakes and in effect it can decrease their efficiency and the quality of their work. Safety level has been researched with author's questionnaire. The devised questionnaire allows to analyze the level of safety culture on many different layers, depending on company's needs and specificity. The results of the research has been presented both in a collective form, of a radar chart or safety climate index, with regard to researched group - i.e. depending on age, education, etc. The possibility of multi - aspect data analysis allows to adjust tools and methods increasing safety level depending on what is required. For example, adjusting safety training to workers’ age, or focusing on those safety aspects which in the questionnaire turned out to be the weakest points of the whole safety management system
