Trust and Safety at Work Place: A Review

To manage safety at workplace in the technology work environment has usually focused on factors such as machinery operations, physical design, and various other hardware counter-measures. Various cognitive-based human factors have not seen a strong importance by safety and technology researchers. This is the start to change as investigators have begun to examine how the management of human factors could affect the safety in the workplace. One of these factors is trust. The second factor, safety climate, events the awareness employees have of the relative importance of safety within an organization. Although limited research has examined the association between trust and safety climate, little experiential data has been collected on the relationship between the two concepts as they relate to the decision-making process of employees. Trust has been revealed to have a positive effect on workplace safety climate, which in turn has been hypothesized to play a role in employee decision-making. So far, research measuring the relationship between trust, safety, and employee decision-making has been limited. This analysis will plan the concept of trust and its relationship to safety climate and safety-related decision making.
