Workplace Safety, Employee Personality, and Behavior

Developing and implementing a sound workplace safety program is the �rst step an employer should take to reduce workplace injuries. Without an effective safety management system, the employer can be placed in a very precarious situation. The employer’s negligence can be costly and will have negative consequences. When the employer enforces the safety guidelines, this positive action will save the company money, reduce injuries sustained by employees, and reduce the fatal accidents that can lead to the death of an employee. Visit the United States Department of Labor website to gain a deeper insight into workplace safety and health guidelines. There is a considerable amount of information on the website to increase your knowledge on workplace safety, to help you design a safety plan, and to provide you with the action to take when a workplace injury occurs. In addition to enforcing the safety policies, the employer must also consider how personality may impact safety.

According to Clarke, Probst, Guldenmund, and Passmore (2016), there are three keys to using personality to improve organizational safety:

Identifying behaviors that are most critical to safety for individual jobs

Identifying speci�c and narrow personality characteristics that drive these behaviors

Using this information to create tailored practices for selecting out individuals with these characteristics or creating training aimed at mitigating their in�uence (p. 53)

Employee behavior, attitudes, and peer norms could be instrumental in a workplace injury if employees perceive, for example, that horseplay is acceptable. There are countless articles on the Internet where an employee was injured or has died due to horseplay. The designated safety representative for the organization is responsible for ensuring a safe work environment.

What safety policies are in place at your organization?

Who regulates the policies?

What are the state workplace safety standards?

Does your organization have the OSHA Job Safety and Health poster displayed?
