Abstract
Recently, accidents have been occurring continuously in domestic research labs, and in order to prevent them, the safety field is emphasizing the creation of a safe climate. Therefore, in this study, before confirming the role and performance of safety climate, we establish the definition and sub-factor of the concept of safety climate and develop a tool to measure it. Through this, we hope to contribute to revitalizing research on lab safety climate and related variables. Through previous research, a draft of the sub-factors and questions of the measurement tool was developed, and the measurement tool was validated through an expert content validity survey, preliminary survey, and main survey. The survey was conducted targeting people engaged in research activities, the measurement tool was validated through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and the reliability of the measurement tool was secured through reliability analysis. In addition, correlation analysis with safety-related variables was conducted. The safety climate measurement tool was drafted with a total of 4 areas and 19 questions, and a total of 16 questions were selected as preliminary questions through verification of content validity. As a result of conducting a preliminary survey and conducting exploratory factor analysis, a total of 4 sub factor and 12 questions were converged. Afterwards, as a result of confirmatory factor analysis through this survey, the measurement tool was found to be valid, and there was a correlation with various safety related variables. The lab safety climate measurement tool consists of four sub-factor : lab operation policy, lab safety regulations, lab safety education, and communication between members, and was developed with a total of 12 questions. The correlation between safety related variables such as safety leadership, safety knowledge, safety attitude, and safety behavior was found to be significant, so it can be used in future lab safety related research and is expected to revitalize research.
