Occupational safety climate is utilized as a way to measure the risk of accidents and injuries at
work. This study investigates which factors are associated with safety climate and accidents at work.
Methods: In the 2012 round of the Danish Work Environment and Health Study, 15,144 workers from the
general working population of Denmark replied to questions about safety climate and accidents at work.
Mutually adjusted logistic regression analyses determined the association between variables.
Results: Within the last year, 5.7% had experienced an accident resulting in sickness absence. The number
of safety climate problems was progressively associated with the odds ratio (OR) for accidents. For one
safety climate problem the OR for accidents was 2.01 (95% CI 1.67–2.42), for four or more safety climate
problems the OR was 4.57 (95% CI 3.64–5.74). Young workers (18–24 years) had higher odds of accidents
(OR 1.36 [95% CI 1.02–1.81]). Using safety climate as outcome and excluding those who previously experienced
an accident, the OR for experiencing safety climate problems was 1.98 (95% 1.66–2.36) among
young workers. Using office and educational work as reference, transport or alone work, construction
work, manufacturing work, and service and kitchen work had highest odds for experiencing safety climate
problems.
Conclusion: A higher number of safety climate problems are progressively associated with increased odds
for experiencing accidents. Young workers are more likely to experience safety climate problems and
accidents at work. Especially transport, construction, manufacturing and service workers are more likely
to experience safety climate problems.
