This paper reviewed the relationship between safety climate(superior attitude, education, precaution, communication, and job load) and safety performance(safety compliance and safety participation), and the moderating effects of gender and age. Based on the responses from 288 employees, the results of multiple regression analysis appeared as follow; 1) superior attitude effects positively on safety compliance and safety participation, but, job load effects negatively on safety compliance and safety participation. 2) precaution effects positively on safety participation. 3) education and precaution are more positively related with safety compliance and safety participation in female employee than in male employee. 4) education is more positively related with safety compliance and safety participation in older employee than in younger employee.

With Zohar(1980)'s research on safety climate and industrial safety, occupational safety and health literatures begin to emphasize the influence of organizational context. Based on this research trend, this paper tried to review the relationship between safety efforts and employee safety participation, and the moderating effect of safety motivation on such relationship. Based on the responses from 643 manufacturing workers, the results of statistical analysis showed that company precaution activity and management safety involvement have affirmative effects on the employee safety participation, but safety education has not. The extent precaution activity forces on participation activity was proved to be influenced by employee safety motivation.

Background: This study examines whether employee perceptions of supervisor behavioral integrity for safety moderates the relationship between top-management safety climate and safety performance (i.e., safety compliance and safety participation) and the mediated relationships through safety motivation. Methods: Data collected from 389 blue-collar employees were analyzed using latent moderated structural equation modeling. Results: The results indicate that the relationship between top-management safety climate and safety behavior, and the mediating role of safety motivation were replicated. Moreover, the results show that the mediated relationships between top-management safety climate and safety behaviors through safety motivation were stronger for employees who report high supervisor behavioral integrity for safety. Conclusion: The study findings suggest the role of supervisor behavioral integrity for safety in clarifying how the employee perceptions of top-management safety climate transfer to the employee safety behaviors through the motivational pathway.

Using a sample of 220 employees in small and medium sized companies in Chungcheong and Gyeonggi provinces, we proposed that the companies' organizational communication on safety issues will positively influence employees' safety compliance and participation. And also, the companies' organizational communication will negatively influence the frequency of industrial accidents. The results of this study supported the hypotheses, implying that the frequency of industrial accidents will be decreasing if the company officially communicates with its employees in terms of the safety issues.

Purpose: This study was conducted to find the change of knowledge, attitude, and practice on musculoskeletal diseases after preventive exercise program. Method: The 169 subjects who worked at an electronic parts manufacturing company in Seoul were participated in 11 week exercise program from February 14, to April 29, 2005. Result: The change of complaint rate of musculoskeletal symptoms based on NIOSH diagnosis standard for each body part was not statistically significant. The change of knowledge, attitude and practice on musculoskeletal diseases after exercise program was statistically significant. The change of knowledge after exercise program was higher in the group of participation days(17-32 days), work department(electronic components dept., mold manufacturing dept., and condenser dept.). The change of attitude after exercise program was higher in the group of work department(electronic components dept.) and job position(employee). The change of practice after exercise program was higher in the group of participation days(17-32 days), and job position(employee).
