本文评估了来自国家机器防护计划（NMGP）的安全气候数据-这是一项旨在提高机器安全性的全国性干预措施。基线安全气候调查由115家企业的2161名员工和341名业主或经理完成。我们对各业务的安全管理常规及机器防护设备进行独立的现场审核。安全气候措施与机器防护或安全管理实践无关。安全委员会的存在与较高的安全管理审计分数相比，没有一个。安全委员会的存在很容易评估，并为就其如何运作提出建议提供了依据。安全气候措施未能提供可采取行动的信息。未来对小型制造企业的研究应强调企业管理安全委员会的存在。
This manuscript assesses safety climate data from the National Machine Guarding Program (NMGP)—a nationwide intervention to improve machine safety. Baseline safety climate surveys were completed by 2161 employees and 341 owners or managers at 115 businesses. A separate onsite audit of safety management practices and machine guarding equipment was conducted at each business. Safety climate measures were not correlated with machine guarding or safety management practices. The presence of a safety committee was correlated with higher scores on the safety management audit when contrasted with those without one. The presence of a safety committee is easily assessed and provides a basis on which to make recommendations with regard to how it functions. Measures of safety climate fail to provide actionable information. Future research on small manufacturing firms should emphasize the presence of an employee-management safety committee.
