• Description:
  Background: Safety climate, violence prevention climate, and civility climate were independently developed and linked to domain-specific workplace hazards, although all three were designed to promote the physical and psychological safety of workers. Purpose: To test domain specificity between conceptually related workplace climates and relevant workplace hazards. Methods: Data were collected from 368 persons employed in various industries and descriptive statistics were calculated for all study variables. Correlational and relative weights analyses were used to test for domain specificity. Results: The three climate domains were similarly predictive of most workplace hazards, regardless of domain specificity. Discussion: This study suggests that the three climate domains share a common higher order construct that may predict relevant workplace hazards better than any of the scales alone.
