Background and Aim: The health, safety and environment (HSE) system is an integrated system that tries to create a healthy, pleasant and lively environment with no accidents, damages and injuries by converging and synergizing human resources, facilities and equipment. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the validation of the revised scale of HSE performance.
Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive and analytical research conducted using the psychometric method. The statistical population included all workers of the steel companies in Kerman Province, Iran in 1400. Using the cluster sampling method based on psychometric criteria a sample of 100 was selected for the convergent validity and a sample of 578 for the construct validity section. Data were collected through two scales of HSE performance and job stress (Cohen et al., 1983). Content validity, convergent validity and factor analysis methods were used to check the validity of the scale. The reliability of the scale was checked using the internal homogeneity and classification reliability (dividing in 2 haves). The SPSS version 22 software was used for data analysis.
Results: Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the six-factor model. The questionnaire was used along with the 35-item occupational stress questionnaire of Cohen et al. (1983) which had good reliability and validity. The alpha coefficient obtained for the whole scale was 0.79, and for the subscales as follows: resilience 0.93, demand 0.90, role 0.93, control 0.85, support 0.72 and relationships 79.0. In addition, the reliability coefficient of the scale was also calculated using the classification method. The classification coefficient for the first and second halves of the data was 0.87 and 0.62, respectively, the correlation between the two halves being 0.248. These findings indicated a favorable internal consistency coefficient for the HSE performance scale (P<0.001).
Conclusion: According to the findings obtained based on the HSE validation, which showed that the fit of the model is high and also that the evaluation of HSE performance has a great role in the health of employees, more attention should be paid to the establishment and implementation of HSE management in Kerman steel companies.
