Successful safety committees: participation not legislation
Article Abstract:
The differences in safety outcomes based on mandatory versus voluntary safety committee implementation at six manufacturing plants is examined. Injury data covering a 10-year period was collected which integrated the data before and after employee safety committees were implemented. Two similar plants with no safety committees acted as control groups for the study. The results showed that government objectives of reducing occupational hazards and injuries could achieve better results if employees are given more opportunities to participate in the safety programs.

Where the safety rubber meets the shop floor: a confirmatory model of management influence on workplace safety
Article Abstract:
An empirical model that establishes a relationship between management practices and workplace safety is evaluated. In particular, this model sheds light on issues such as organizational climate, self-reported safety outcomes and management support. Test results using the Confirmatory Factor Analysis methodology indicate that managerial influence on safety practices is influenced by either the management role or safety outcomes.
