我们研究了来自5个行业的425名员工的数据，这些行业的员工受伤风险高于平均水平。我们预计，未报告的事故率将高于报告的事故率：组织的安全氛围和安全政策的主管执行的看法将缓和未报告的事故和报告的事故之间的关系。结果表明，未报告的事故数量明显高于报告的事故数量。平均每向本组织报告一起事故，就有2.48起未报告的事故。此外，在组织安全氛围较差或主管安全执法不一致的工作环境中，报告不足的情况更高。我们讨论了这些研究结果的影响，以改善事故漏报和工作场所的职业安全。(C)2009爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
We examined accident under-reporting with data from 425 employees employed in 5 industries with above average risk for employee injuries. We expected that rates for unreported accidents would be higher than rates for reported accidents: and that organizational safety climate and perceptions of supervisor enforcement of safety policies would moderate the relationship between unreported accidents and reported accidents. Results showed that the number of unreported accidents was significantly higher than the number of reported accidents. There was an average of 2.48 unreported accidents for every accident reported to the organization. Further, under-reporting was higher in working environments with poorer organizational safety climate or where supervisor safety enforcement was inconsistent. We discuss the implications of these findings for improving accident under-reporting and occupational safety in the workplace. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
