Work safety climate. Comparison of selected occupational groups

occupational groups. No differences were found in the present research between the studied representatives of the three occupational groups together only with regard to work safety cli- mate dimensions such as organizational occupational health and safety management policy and technical facilities and ergonomics. This may result from the universality of the require- ments, present in the law, set for organizations precisely with regard to these aspects of safe behavior. However, the differences observed in the assessment of the remaining work safety climate dimensions organizations induce the promotion of additional activities in organiza- tions in a more differentiated and individualized way, which should take into account the spec- ificity of the work and the nature of the specific threats occurring in the working environment of the representatives of the different occupations. Learning about the safety climate and diagnosing it has not only theoretical, but also appli- cational significance. The difference revealed in the assessment of the work safety climate thus becomes a reason for working on practical safety measures, not only in the procedural and technical dimension, but also taking into account its other aspects, including social and psy- chological ones. It can be the basis for creating and implementing prevention program, designed adequately to the diagnosed specificity of the issues, and for strengthening the regula- tions and practices functioning in organizations that require corrective actions.
