Development and application of safety culture analysis program: First online safety culture quantitative analysis and assessment system in China

Abstract

To promote safety culture assessment, this paper developed China's first online safety culture analysis and evaluation system—Safety Culture Analysis Program (SCAP). SCAP is based on the 32 safety culture elements in the 24Model and provides two login methods: web version and WeChat mini program. It can meet the needs of individuals, groups, and enterprises to conduct safety culture assessments anytime and anywhere and provide convenience for universities to conduct safety culture experiments. The application of SCAP showed that (1) SCAP has rich functions and is highly scientific and universal. (2) The SCAP can output assessment results according to categories, such as total, personnel, safety culture elements, and individual employee requirements, which can be compared with the highest and lowest values stored in the system. This makes it easy for intuitively understanding the current evaluation status. (3) The suggestion report generated by SCAP can help assessment units improve safety culture in a targeted manner and form a dynamic mechanism cycle of “construction-evaluation-construction.” (4) In the future, SCAP will be employed in designing more targeted questions based on the characteristics of different industries and fields to balance the adaptability and specificity of the industry.
