虽然农场管理人员可能了解农业的风险,但他们可能不提供个人防护装备(PPE)。本研究描述了纯种农场管理的风险认知、个人防护装备的提供,以及影响其提供的因素。方法来自26个农场的35名代表参加了1 - 4小时的半结构化访谈,内容涉及与骑马工作相关的感知风险、观点和个人防护装备的提供。采访录音,转录,进入ATLAS。Ti,并由三个编码器进行分析。结果管理层认为与马有关的任务是最危险的,但与马有关的个人防护装备提供最少,因为1)农场环境的差异,2)相信工人是他们安全的最重要因素,3)对其有效性缺乏信心,4)风险永远无法消除的观念。结论与其他因素相比,管理层对sppe的有效性认识较差,限制了sppe的提供。未来的研究应探讨工人的观念和PPE在避免马相关伤害方面的有效性。点。中华检验医学杂志,2015,33(2):389 - 396。©2015 Wiley期刊公司
BackgroundAlthough farm management may understand agriculture's risks, they may not provide personal protective equipment (PPE). This study describes thoroughbred farm management's risk perceptions, provision of PPE, and factors that influence its provision.MethodsThirty‐five representatives from 26 farms participated in a 1–4hr semi‐structured interview covering perceived risks associated with horse work and perspectives and provision of PPE. Interviews were audio‐recorded, transcribed, entered into ATLAS.ti, and analyzed by three coders.ResultsManagement cited horse‐related tasks as most dangerous, yet horse‐related PPE as least provided because of 1) differences in farm context, 2) the belief that workers were most important agents in their safety, 3) lack of confidence in its effectiveness, and 4) the perception that risk could never be eliminated.ConclusionsPPE provision was limited by management's poor perceptions of its efficacy relative to other factors. Future research should explore workers' perceptions and PPE's effectiveness in averting horse‐related injury. Am. J. Ind. Med. 58:886–896, 2015. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
