Abstract

Latino Day Laborers (LDL) experience high rates of occupational injury while navigating worksite hazards without adequate safety equipment or training. As such, LDL implement simple safety behaviors which may not reflect standardized labor safety practices. This study aims to demonstrate the validity of a scale measuring LDL safety practices. A 22-item scale was developed through qualitative analysis of interviews with LDL. We first validated our scale in a cross-sectional study with 149 LDL. After conducting exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, a final 15-item safety practices scale emerged. Lastly, we cross-validated our scale with a second sample of 318 LDL. The EFA resulted in three distinct dimensions of safety practices: preparation safety, harm mitigation, and proactive communication. The CFA results from both samples supported a three-factor model. Our study provided evidence for a valid and reliable scale to measure the safety practices of LDL.

从个人承诺到安全量表:拉丁裔日工自我报告安全实践量表的开发和验证
拉丁裔日工(LDL)在没有足够的安全设备或培训的情况下应对工作场所的危险时,职业伤害率很高。因此,低密度脂蛋白实施简单的安全行为,可能无法反映标准化的劳动安全实践。本研究旨在证明低密度脂蛋白安全实践量表的有效性。通过对LDL访谈的定性分析,编制了一份22项量表。我们首先在一项149 LDL的横断面研究中验证了我们的量表。在进行了探索性和验证性因素分析后,最终得出了15项安全实践量表。最后,我们用318 LDL的第二个样本对我们的量表进行了交叉验证。全民教育导致了安全实践的三个不同层面:准备安全、减轻伤害和积极沟通。两个样本的CFA结果支持三因素模型。我们的研究为测量低密度脂蛋白的安全性提供了有效和可靠的量表。
