Abstract

In this paper relations between perceived risk, job stress, and frequency of accidents and near accidents are analyzed. The analysis was based upon a self-completion survey among petroleum personnel (n = 915) on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The survey, conducted in spring 1990, drew respondents from five companies and eight installations. The response rate was 92%. Physical working conditions, safety and contingency factors, and assessment of the respondents' risk were found to exert influence on the number of accidents and near accidents. Results are presented and implications discussed.
