  Abstract

Various leading indicators of safety culture have been advocated for proactive actions as lagging indicators have limitations in reflecting the attitudes and behaviors due to their reactivity and low sensitivity. This study proposes a model of incident-reporting culture (IRC) and determines the influence of the components on incident-reporting rate (IRR) in order to develop proactive indicators of safety culture. A questionnaire survey was administered to 614 workers at a chemical company in Korea, and the internal psychological aspects were explored by using perceptions, attitude, and backgrounds. The relationship between these factors and IRR was quantitatively confirmed. The workers are more reluctant to report injury than property damage, the perception of severity is the most influencing factor, and most property damages are reported regardless of worker’s willingness. These features should be prioritized when improving IRC, and the criteria of IRC need to be aligned with safety culture.
