High reliability process industries: individual, micro, and macro organizational influences on safety performance
Article Abstract:
The safety measures in a process industry can be categorized in three levels namely individual, micro organizational and macro organizational. The individual level depends upon employee attitudes, employee behaviors, and employee knowledge. Micro organizational measures are self-regulation, organizational policies, design of work environment, safety representatives, management attitudes and accountability. Macro organizational measures are technological complexity, work force specialization, centralization, decentralization, vertical and horizontal communication, tight coupling and redundancy of the system.
