The association of work safety regulations with practical knowledge and attitude among safety supervisors in fibre cement plant
Abstract:
The supervisor is a person between management and workers, who translates managements policy into action. In close contact with operators, he can provide the closest control of safety activities, so he is the key in accident prevention. If the supervisor is convinced of the importance of safety, it has to be considered all the time, so that operators will follow his example. This study was survey research, observation of the supervisors with a descriptive study on the supervisors and a questionnaire. The purpose of this study was to study the practical knowledge and safety attitude level of safety supervisors, by self evaluation according to work safety regulations, safety attitude toward safety management and job assignments, including the association between difference of education level and work experience. Results of the study showed that safety supervisors were at the level of understanding and being able to apply practical knowledge according to safety regulations, but practical knowledge level according to fiber cement plant requirements were in the range of understanding but unable to apply for all details in safety work procedures. From the level of safety attitude toward safety management, it was found that the majority of safety supervisors had a good attitude toward organization. According to safety attitude toward job assignments, the majority had agreed that close contact with job assignments were related to operators work safety. Practical safety knowledge level according to fiber cement plant requirements and safety attitude toward safety management and job assignments were significantly correlated. (r =0.40*,0.31* and P-value = 0.001,0.015) According to the study results, the association between practical knowledge level of fibre cement plant requirements topics, safety handling, and safety attitude toward organization with the difference of education level were associated. (F-distribution = 3.52*, 3.39* and P-value = 0.036,0.041)"
