Proposed Project
Assessing the Impact of
Organizational and Personal
Antecedents on Proactive Health/Safety
Decision Making—New—National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
NIOSH, under Public Law 91–596,
Sections 20 and 22 (Section 20–22,
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1977) has the responsibility to conduct
research relating to innovative methods,
E:\FR\FM\17JYN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 137 / Friday, July 17, 2015 / Notices
techniques, and approaches dealing
with occupational safety and health
problems.
This research relates to the interplay
of personal, organizational, and cultural
influences on risk-taking and proactive
decision-making behaviors among mine
workers. The antecedents, or
characteristics, that impact these
behaviors are not well understood in
mining. Understanding the degree to
which antecedents influence decisions
can inform the focus of future health
and safety management interventions.
NIOSH proposes a project that seeks
to empirically understand the following:
What are the most important
organizational antecedent
characteristics needed to support
worker health and safety (H&S)
performance behaviors in the mining
industry?
What are the most important personal
antecedent characteristics needed to
support worker health and safety (H&S)
performance behaviors in the mining
industry?
To answer the above questions,
NIOSH researchers developed a
psychometrically supported survey.
Researchers identified seven worker
perception-based ‘organizational values’
and four ‘personal characteristics’ that
are presumed to be important in
fostering H&S knowledge, motivation,
proactive behaviors, and safety
outcomes. Because these emergent,
worker perception-based constructs
have a theoretical and empirical history,
psychometrically tested items exist for
each of them.
NIOSH researchers will administer
this survey at mine sites to as many
participating mine workers as possible
to answer the research questions. Upon
data collection and analysis NIOSH
researchers will revalidate each scale to
ensure that measurement is valid. A
quantitative approach, via a short
survey, allows for prioritization, based
on statistical significance, of the
antecedents that have the most critical
influence on proactive behaviors. Data
collection will take place with
approximately 1,200 mine workers over
three years. The respondents targeted
for this study include any active mine
worker at a mine site, both surface and
underground. All participants will be
between the ages of 18 and 75, currently
employed, and living in the United
States. Participation will require no
more than 20 minutes of workers’ time
(5 minutes for consent and 15 minutes
for the survey). There is no cost to
respondents other than their time.
Upon collection of the data, it will be
used to answer what organizational/
personal characteristics have the biggest
impact on proactive and compliant
health and safety behaviors. Dominance
and relative weights analysis will be
used as the data analysis method to
statistically rank order the importance
of predictors in numerous regression
contexts. Safety proactive and safety
compliance will serve as the dependent
variables in these regression analyses,
with the organizational and personal
characteristics as independent variables.
Findings will be used to improve the
safety and health organizational values
and focus of mine organizations, as
executed through their health and safety
management system for mitigating
health and safety risks at their mine site.
Specifically, if organizations are lacking
in values that are of high importance
among employees, site leadership
knows where to focus new, innovative
methods, techniques, and approaches to
dealing with their occupational safety
and health problems. Finally, the data
can be directly compared to data from
other mine organizations that
administered the same standardized
methods to provide broader context for
areas in which the mining industry can
focus more attention if trying to
encourage safer work behavior.
