The variables of “gender”, “education background”, “marriage status”, “and post of job” and “experiences of occupational accidents” have an obvious negative influence on the entire safety culture. At last, this research builds up the norms of safety culture in tourist and hotel industries according to this safety culture scale and the results will be offered to the field of practitioners as the safety culture analysis and the tool for improving the intervention point.
