Scale Development of Family Safety Climate for Railway Drivers in China

Safety behavior of railway drivers has great significance to the safe operation of trains and the safe travel of passengers. The family safety climate is a crucial factor in the conduct of safety behavior. However, most of the research on the current family safety climate focus on vehicle drivers other than railway drivers. This paper studies the structure and measurement of the railway driver's family safety climate. The results show that the railway driver's family safety climate includes three dimensions: safety communication, safety commitment and safety awareness and the measurement scale consists of 15 items. This study also lays the foundation for the further study of railway driver's family safety climate.
