ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to understand safety consciousness and safety culture level of members in the petrochemical industry by conducting a survey. I really expect progress of members’ safety consciousness through this survey, furthermore it affects to vitalize communication regarding safety between members in organization and to promote interests in each member’s safety consciousness. According to ‘frequency’ and ‘main cause’ analysis to verify the validity of safety consciousness and safety culture level of members, 80% of respondents agree to the validity in principle and especially the safety consciousness and safety culture level of members in the petrochemical industry is superior to that of members in other industries. In the ‘main cause’ analysis, main causes are set as follows: safety consciousness, operating process, expense for safety, safety regulation. The members who working over 20 years and the personnel of managing department recognize better than other members regarding all causes. Peculiarly, other members have a tendency for lack of understanding ‘safety regulation’ unlike other main causes. This means that though they know the importance of safety, they try to avoid rules regarding safety cause of individualism. So for reducing industrial accidents by upgrading the safety consciousness, It is necessary to lead member’s self-directed participation on matured safety culture and to interaction between safety consciousness, operating process, expense for safety and safety regulation by multilateral approach.
