Le fait de parler de la sécurité afin de prévenir les accidents et les dommages corporels est connu sous le nom de « voix de la sécurité ». Cette voix se manifeste dans différents contextes (soins de santé, aviation, construction, alpinisme, sports de montagne, sports à haut risque) et la compréhension du phénomène permet d’intervenir. Malgré l’intérêt récent, cependant, on ne sait pas encore très bien comment la voix de la sécurité (i) diffère conceptuellement de celle des employés, (ii) est délimitée à tous les niveaux d’analyse et (iii) pourrait être étudiée de façon optimale.
Safety voice is the act of speaking up about safety in order to prevent accidents and physical harm. It occurs across contexts (e.g., healthcare, aviation, construction, mountaineering, high-risk sports) and understanding the phenomenon enables interventions. Despite recent interest, however, it remains unclear how safety voice (i) differs conceptually from employee voice, (ii) is delineated across levels of analysis, and (iii) could be optimally investigated. Addressing this, we identified 48 articles, and integrated 256 safety voice antecedents, 7 pragmatics and 23 outcomes into an ecological framework. Overlap was found with employee voice concepts and methodologies, especially for the behavioural nature of speaking-up. Nonetheless, safety voice appeared unique in terms of the content of the raised message (e.g., limited to safety), the context and person speaking-up, identified antecedents (e.g., hazard-specific antecedents), and methodological challenges (e.g., operationalisation of victimhood). Our proposed safety voice framework provides a novel approach to safety voice that is ecological and indicates interventions for mitigating physical harm.
