First, we will present the results that were apphed to the data collected fiom Hospital M. We calculated a mean annual reporting rate over the three years 2004— 06 as well as a mean score for each safety culture factor (cf Tables 4.2-4.5) for each of 18 work units. A rank-based correlation analysis (Spearman s rho) was applied to these cross-unit data and the analysis of results is shown in Table 4.8.

As for the reporting rate of Level 0 and 1 cases, significant correlations were also observed with several safety culture factors. However, contrary to the safety measure hypothesis of this index, there was the same trend shown in the reporting rate of Level 2+ cases a positive score for each factor contributes to lower frequency... 

It is notable that there were significantly positive correlations between the rate of Level 0 and 1 and a number of safety culture factors leadership safety awareness competence awareness collectivism-individualism and team/stress management. 

In this subsection, we apply another type of safety performance data, i.e., self-reported staff attitudes to error reporting and interaction with the patient, to the test of criterion validity of the safety culture factors. For this purpose, we used the nurse sample of the Japanese data including more than 17,000 questionnaire responses collected from 82 hospitals (Itoh and Andersen, 2010). An example of resrrlts of correlation analysis is shown in Table 4.10 in terms of Spearman s rho, using the mild outcome case in the three vignettes offered - results for the near-miss and severe cases were quite similar to this case. 

A sample of 475 staff from 10 hospitals in Costa Rica, Gimeno et al. (2005) found that safety culture was related to self-reported work-related injuries. Another study of 789 hospital-based healthcare workers in the USA, found that experienced blood and body fluid exposure incidents for workers were lower when senior management support, safety feedback and training were perceived favourably (Gershon et al. 2000). In Japan, reduced needle-stick and sharp injuries to hospital workers were associated with safety culture factors, such as being involved in health and safety matters (Smith et al. 2010). In our Scottish hospital sample, we collected information on self-reports of worker injuries, as well as observed errors affecting patients. 

Paper based surveys are more useful than web based surveys for hospital staff. Significant local support is required to increase participation in the survey. Safety culture factors explained more variance in safety behaviour measures than they did variance of worker and patient injury rates. 

Patient Safety Culture, Factors Contributing to Patient Safety Culture, and Its Assessment Objectives and Barriers... 

Chapter 3 presents introductory aspects of safety and human factors. Chapter 4 is devoted to methods considered useful to perform patient safety analysis. These methods include failure modes and effect analysis (FMEA), fault tree analysis (FTA), root cause analysis (RCA), hazard and operability analysis (HAZOP), six sigma methodology, preliminary hazard analysis (PFfA), interface safety analysis (ISA), and job safety analysis (JSA). Patient safety basics are presented in Chapter 5. This chapter covers such topics as patient safety goals, causes of patient injuries, patient safety culture, factors contributing to pahent safety culture, safe practices for better health care, and patient safety indicators and their selection. 

It appears that the deficiencies outlined in the preceding section do not indicate a plan that was lacking hut instead a lack of execution. The underlying factor as to why this lack of execution exists could he due to a less than desirable safety culture.

The last area addressed by the systems approach is concerned with global issues involving the influence of organizational factors on human error. The major issues in this area are discussed in Chapter 2, Section 7. The two major perspectives that need to be considered as part of an error reduction program are the creation of an appropriate safety culture and the inclusion of human error reduction within safety management policies.

In this chapter we will rephrase, summarise and extend the set of practical aspects related to designing and implementing near miss reporting systems. First five general factors will be listed, followed by a more detailed discussion of two of these data collection, and acceptability. Also the overall important factor of training will be briefly outlined, Finally the relationship between an organisation s prevailing view of human error and its safety culture will be discussed.

For scales to measure other safety-related factors, the reader can consult Costa and Anderson (2011) for trust measures Zohar (2000) for safety climate measures Barling et al. (2002) for safety consciousness Sneddon et al. (2013) for situational awareness Neal and Griffin (2006) for safety participation and compliance Chmiel (2005) for bending the rules Cox and Cox (1991) for safety skepticism Neal et al. (2000) for safety knowledge and safety motivation Tucker et al. (2008) for employee safety voicing Tucker et al. (2008) for perceived organizational and perceived co-worker support for safety and Diaz-cabera et al. (2007) for safety culture. Another good source of information on safety measures are meta-analyses (e.g., Christian et al. 2009 Clarke 2006).

ABSTRACT Four hundred and sixty seven coal gas explosion accidents that occurred in China between the years of 1950 and 2000 were investigated through statistical methods so as to review the overall situation and provide quantitative information on coal gas explosion accidents. Statistical characteristics about accident-related factors such as space, time, gas accumulation reasons, gas grade, ignition sources, accidents categories, and accident economic loss were analyzed. Some special conclusions have been achieved. For example, most gas explosion accidents were found to have concentricity on the space-time and hazard characteristics. Such results may be helpful to prevent coal gas explosion accidents. Moreover, comments were made on APS (Accident Prevention System) and safety culture. In conclusion, countermeasures were proposed in accordance with the results of statistical studies, including the change of safety check time. 

As can be seen from Fig. 5, in the second sixth simulation, the impact of human factors on safety performance whose time cut down more than six months to achieve an expected safety performance is the most obvious. The next impact is management factors. The adjustment of other three factors is no significant difference. The impact of human and management factors on safety performance become more and more strong. Because staff s increased safety awareness can build safety culture, which can t be matched by other physical factors.

While management contemplates important issues such as safety investment and safety culture on organizational accidents, the results of this paper suggest that they should also consider the size and life cycle of the companies. Where the size do not favor workplace safety, managers should consider substitutes for these factors through networks or other forms of organization.
