Expected Co-worker Safety Communication

Information about safety is vital to ensure employee safety. All employees should expect to receive information about safety, and research has clearly shown that communication about safety reduces accidents. The expected safety communication scale has items which examine different aspect of safety communication. A new employee may be expecting such communication, and it is important that new employees understand the degree to which job incumbents engage in safety 

The expected safety communication scale has 10 items, and both versions are shown in Table 9.2. At this time, the scale has not been used in published research. Unpublished analysis of 144 new employee responses produced a Cronbach s alpha of 0.79.
