The establishment of evaluation index system of safety culture is an arduous and complex task, including the establishment of safety culture evaluation index, determination of evaluation method, measurement of evaluation results and so on. At present, domestic research in this area is still not perfect. 

Coal mining enterprises not pay enough attention to the safety culture in construction, light on the surface. (2) Safety culture in construction research emphasis on theory and the theory cannot be combined with practice. (3) Coal employees there is a widespread misunderstanding of the safety culture in construction, compared with weak safety awareness. (4) Scientific, reasonable and effective evaluation of the measurement system is not perfect.

Literature (Fu Li 2009) proposes that safety culture is the core idea needed for enterprise safety management. According to the author s safety management experience and the academic research accumulation. Literature (Stewart 2002) proposes that the safety performance of enterprise is mainly the view of their managers and employees, which means that the enterprise safety performance depends on people s thoughts, ideas and their understanding and implementation of the main...

Regression analysis takes into account the influence of other factors included in the model. Definitive interpretation of prior research is hobbled in two ways 1) one or more of the key HRM practices is omitted from examination (no prior study ineludes employee participation in both decision making and financial returns as well as measures of management safety culture), and 2) the variables are often examined in a univariate, rather than a multivariate, framewoik. 

Habeck, Hunt, and VanTol (1998), Habeck et al. (1998), Hunt and Habeck (1993), and Hunt et al. (1993)—extending the earlier research of Habeck (1993), Habeck, Leahy, and Hunt (1988), and Habeck et al. (1991)—relate the disability outcomes of 220 Michigan firms to those firms HRM practices. This research is the first serious analysis of how management safety culture affects injury claims. In addition to collecting survey information for the 220 firms, Hunt et al. (1993) held extensive interviews with 32 of the 220 firms and find a qualitative difference in those firms that engage in what the researchers call a participative culture. In other words, they find a qualitative difference between firms that facilitate employee involvement in decision making and those where the employees do not participate in the firm s decision making. 

Management safety culture means the employer s commitment and leadership in making a safer workplace environment. In this research, our empirical measure of management safety culture is a Likert scale index of responses to the following issues ... 

This study goes beyond much of the earlier research and— following the approach of Hunt and Habeck (1993) and Hunt et al. (1993)—seeks to estimate the role of HRM practices in the determination of workers compensation costs in a multivariate framework. It uses a workplace safety model that incorporates a wider variety of HRM practices than has been previously employed. In particular, it analyzes the impact of the three important dimensions of HRM practices on safety employee participation in decision making, employee participation in financial returns, and the firm s management safety culture. In addition, this is the first study to consider file effect of each of these factors on claim frequency and claim severity, and to ask whether any observed change is file result of changes in technical efficiency or moral hazard (principal-agent) incentives.

The invitation to participants in the NATO Nuclear Materials Safety Advanced Research Workshop stated that the goal of a nuclear materials safety program is to enhance and improve nuclear materials safety and the safety cultures embedded in day-to-day operations associated with the storage and disposition of excess fissile materials from the dismantled nuclear weapons. The intent of this paper is to provide an overview of our cooperative reactor safety studies. It will be evident how that experience can be applied to enhance future cooperation related to use of mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel. 

These university research programs have a dual role they both generate new information that will be beneficial to safety practice, and help to inculcate a safety culture into the nuclear practitioners and leaders of the next generation. As the NMSA unfolds, one can expect synergistic interactions to emerge between its laboratory-to-laboratory and university-to-university components that will even further enhance both of these objectives.
