Abstract
The aim of this paper is to identify what attitudes towards safety performance indicators influence the attitudes towards successfulness of ISM Code implementation among contemporary seafarers. Secondly, the goal of the research was to obtain insight into the seafarer’s attitudes towards the current state of ISM implementation and safety performance. Consequently, a sample of N=330 seafarers was examined regarding their attitudes towards safety performance variables and ISM Code implementation. By using multiple regression analysis it was concluded that well designed and structured safety rules and procedures, positive work environment and adequate communication can make significant contributions to seafarers’ attitudes towards ISM implementation.
Highlights
The aim of this paper is to identify what attitudes towards safety performance indicators influence the attitudes towards successfulness of International Safety Management Code (ISM) Code implementation among contemporary seafarers
It is important to underline, as dealing with reliable and valid data strongly based on previous scientific research and taken from a relatively large respondent’s sample, that it is assumed that each particular question has the same influence on the attached factors
It is important to underline that the minimal value can be a real number for each factor, because data were taken as a mean value of appropriate questionnaire items
Summary
The aim of this paper is to identify what attitudes towards safety performance indicators influence the attitudes towards successfulness of ISM Code implementation among contemporary seafarers. The goal of the research was to obtain insight into the seafarer’s attitudes towards the current state of ISM implementation and safety performance. Before the distribution of the questionnaires, the purpose and the objective of the research was explained and complete anonymity for the participants was guaranteed. The purpose of this study was to explore which safety variables can be used as a predictor of successful ISM Code implementation
