Several other research issues related to safety climate and culture are discussed elsewhere. Cooper (2000) and Geller (1997) provide a useful conceptual framework that incorporates three dynamic and interacting components involving the person, behavior, and environment that are compatible with the behavioral safety process. Another research topic of particular relevance to behavioral safety is the impact a process has on improving safety climate. Despite the belief that behavioral safety is not perceived favorably by workers, many studies have reported that implementations of the process affect worker perceptions positively (DePasquale & Geller, 1999; Grindle et al.,2000). More research in needed to confirm these reports, and determine the direction of any causal relationships found between the various elements of a behavioral safety process and concomitant improvements in safety climate. In particular, survey research appears needed on the possible causes of distrust toward behavioral safety, such as determining what particular elements of behavioral safety processes are likely to elicit unfavorable perceptions among workers and workers' unions.
