EU-OSHA thesaurus

The study pointed out that, among Norwegian workers, a low power distance and a less assertive (masculine) organisational climate go along with a high level of trust (in colleagues‘ as well as supervisors’ commitment to safety) and high compliance with and participation in safety. This pattern appeared, however, to be different among United Kingdom workers, among whom an assertive organisational climate may still be safety compliant (i.e. sticking to the safety rules) and combined with low social distance between superior and subordinates.
