ResumenLas organizaciones deben proporcionar un clima de seguridad, esto se refiere a las percepciones compartidas sobre políticas, procedimientos y prácticas de seguridad de la organización. El objetivo de este estudio es proporcionar una visión cuantitativa sobre la percepción de los factores de riesgo que poseen los operadores de transporte público con relación al clima de seguridad. El transporte como movilidad humana es un aspecto esencial para la sociedad, es necesario un sistema de transporte seguro que concuerde con los lineamientos que piden las leyes. En este estudio participaron 54 Operadores transporte de sexo masculino de la ciudad de Mérida, Yucatán, a los cuales se le aplicaron dos instrumentos, “Percepción de Riesgo” (Aguilar, 2013) y “Clima de Seguridad” (Meliá, 1999), las edades fluctuaban entre los 26 a 66 años. Se realizó la prueba estadística de la correlación de Pearson. Con los resultados obtenidos se puede observar que no existen diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre el clima de seguridad y la percepción de riesgo. Sin embargo, se pudo encontrar otras variables que son relevantes al evaluar la percepción riesgo, en este estudio se encontró que a mayor antigüedad, existe una mayor percepción de riesgo por parte de los operadores de trasporte público.AbstractThe organizations must provide a safety climate, this refers to the perceptions shared on politics, procedures and safety practices of the organization. The target of this study is to provide a quantitative vision on the perception of the factors of risk that the public transport operators possess in relation to the safety climate. This study was realized in the field of public transport, which refers to “an integral system of means of transport of widespread use, capable of giving solution to the needs for displacements of the persons”. The transport as human mobility is an essential aspect for the society, for this there is needed a system of healthy and sure transport that agrees with the lineaments that ask for the laws. 54 Operators informed transport of masculine sex of the city of Merida, Yucatan, to which there him were applied two instruments, “Perception of Risk” (Aguilar, 2013) and “safety Climate” (Meliá, 1999), the ages were fluctuating between the 26 to 66 years. There was realized the statistical test of the interrelation of Pearson because this one claims to know the association and relation between two variables, in addition to knowing the index of reliability and validity of the measuring devices used in the investigation. With the obtained results it is possible to observe that differences do not exist as per statistics significant between the safety climate and the perception of risk. Nevertheless, it was possible to find other variables that are excellent on having evaluated the perception I water, in this study one found that at major age, the major one exists in the risk perception on the part of the operators of transport public. It is necessary to emphasize that a limitation was the number of participants, for it, a suggestion for future investigations, it is to increase the number of participants, because it would be a more representative sample on this problems
