Environmental Classification and Safety,

Abstract

In order to identify hazardous situations, environments aboard 20 U.S. Navy combat ships were classified according to job type and 3 environmental dimensions related to perceptions to safety--physical resources, personnel resources, and work procedures. Results indicated that men in Deck and Engineering Divisions sustained injuries at a higher rate than men performing other types of work. Furthermore, regardless of job type, men working in divisions with a combination of low scores on both the personnel resources and work procedures scales tended to have higher injury rates than men in other divisions.
