Cette étude conceptualise le climat d’expression de la sécurité, présente l’échelle de climat d’expression de la sécurité (SVCS) en tant qu’outil de mesure et recueille des preuves initiales de sa validité.
Speaking up about safety issues, termed “safety voice,” is a proactive response where people across all levels of the organization express their concerns to prevent physical hazards. A perceived need to fit in and fear of consequences can be obstacles to speaking out about safety concerns. Safety voice climate can be seen as a manifestation of the social exchanges in an organization and functions as a roadmap of which speaking out behaviors are encouraged and which behaviors are not. This study conceptualizes safety voice climate, presents the Safety Voice Climate Scale (SVCS) as a measurement tool, and gathers initial evidence for its validity. The study also assesses the associations between the SVCS and safety voice behavior.
