背景在美国，大约有23.6万人在3.76万家汽车碰撞修复企业工作。碰撞修理行业的工人可能暴露在广泛的物理和化学危险中。方法本文考察了碰撞修理车间工人和业主报告的安全气氛与以下两个方面的关系：(1)独立的商业安全评估，(2)员工自我报告的工作实践。结果来自49家碰撞店的199名工人完成了自我报告的工作方式和安全氛围的调查。调查是由店主或经理完成的，只有三家商店除外。总体而言，自我报告的工作实践很差。工人在安全氛围上的得分一致低于业主。对于工人来说，企业在对企业安全实践的独立审计中的得分与他们报告的安全环境指标之间没有相关性。然而，对于业主来说，安全氛围得分与企业安全评估之间存在正相关关系。对于工人来说，安全规则和程序与从事油漆相关活动和身体技师相关活动的工作实践的改善有关。结论安全规则和程序的执行成为积极影响自我报告工作实践的一个强有力的因素。这些发现确定了一条简单、经济高效的途径来减少小型工作场所的危险。上午好。J.Ind.地中海医院。2014年，57：78-86。©2013 Wiley期刊，Inc.
BackgroundIn the United States, approximately 236,000 people work in 37,600 auto collision‐repair businesses. Workers in the collision‐repair industry may be exposed to a wide range of physical and chemical hazards.MethodsThis manuscript examines the relationship of safety climate as reported by collision repair shop workers and owners to: (1) an independent business safety assessment, and (2) employee self‐reported work practices. The study was conducted in the Twin Cities metropolitan area.ResultsA total of 199 workers from 49 collision shops completed a survey of self‐reported work practices and safety climate. Surveys were completed by an owner or manager in all but three shops. In general, self‐reported work practices were poor. Workers' scores on safety climate were uniformly lower than those of owners. For workers, there was no correlation between how well the business scored on an independent audit of business safety practices and the safety climate measures they reported. For owners, however, there was a positive correlation between safety climate scores and the business safety assessment. For workers, safety rules and procedures were associated with improved work practices for those engaged in both painting‐related and body technician‐related activities.ConclusionsThe enforcement of safety rules and procedures emerged as a strong factor positively affecting self‐reported work practices. These findings identify a simple, cost effective path to reducing hazards in small workplaces. Am. J. Ind. Med. 57:78–86, 2014. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
