TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Developing a questionnaire for measuring safety climate in the workplace in Serbia JO - International journal of occupational safety and ergonomics A1 - Milijic, Nenad A1 - Mihajlovic, Ivan A1 - Strbac, Nada A1 - Zivkovic, Zivan SP - 631 EP - 645 VL - 19 IS - 4 N2 - This study was conducted because a real method for measuring safety climate had never been developed and assessed in Serbian industry. The aim of this paper was to start the process of developing a safety climate questionnaire that could be used in Serbia. As a starting point a 21-item questionnaire was adopted after an extensive literature review. The questionnaire was distributed at several Serbian factories; 1098 workers responded. After a statistical analysis of the data obtained with the questionnaire and a critical comparison with the available reference results, a final questionnaire with 21 questions, divided into 7 groups, was developed. The 7 groups of questions (factors) were safety awareness and competence, safety communication, organizational environment, management support, risk judgment and management reaction, safety precautions and accident prevention, and safety training.
