Abstract

<p>Few studies have examined the claim that engaging in safety activities can contribute to the reduction of occupational accidents in the workplace. Maintenance and promotion of these activities are largely influenced by team communication about safety. Team Communication Interface Questionnaire (TCIQ) has been proposed to examine intra-organizational communication by asking members to share their impressions about their team. Derived from TCIQ, we have developed Safety Communication Interface Questionnaire (SCIQ) to measure impressions of safety in the workplace. In this study we conducted a questionnaire survey and workplace inspection for Company A, examined the reliability and validity of SCIQ, and evaluated safety activities from the viewpoint of safety communication. The 115 subjects had a mean age of 48.3 years and were recruited from the company's two branches. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to calculate the internal consistency coefficients of the items in SCIQ: risk prediction activity (0.764), near-miss activity (0.815), 4S activity (0.765), pointing and calling activity (0.807), and greeting movement (0.755). The results of this study demonstrate the reliability of SCIQ. </p>
