Summary:碩士 === 國立高雄第一科技大學 === 環境與安全衛生工程研究所 === 100 === Abstract The work of the district cleaners of Kaohsiung city included road cleaning, ditch cleaning, environmental disinfection, water manure cleaning, cleaning of large-sized furniture or garbage, recycling of resources and kitchen waste, etc. The work is heavy and need to harmony with the work schedule of people in the early morning or deep night, especially for the restored work after a disaster in the short time. In order to complete cleaning work, the large-sized machines and tools, vehicles, and facilities is necessary. The working environment is a open space and contains a lot of unsafe factors. Many accident-based casualties are likely to affect the cleaners in regard to their negligence in carrying out operations or using machinery facilities. It is also possible that, for convenience or due to deficient recognition of the “operation safety”, cleaners will more frequently suffer from accidents. Before the combination of Kaohsiung County and Kaohsiung City, the district cleaners are to be responsible for the garbage cleaning work and also less to do the other cleaning work. On the other hand, the city cleaners not only have the garbage cleaning work, but also deal with the work of road cleaning, ditch cleaning, and environmental disinfection. The duty is exact and heavy. This study focuses on the safety culture assessment of urban and rural clearance organization after the combination of county and city. The safety culture scale has been established. The safety culture scale covers seven dimensions, and the samples come from the members of the urban and rural clearance unit of Kaohsiung City. The safety management effective index construct was built in accordance with the seven safety dimensions: Safety Commitment(SA), Safety Involvement(SI), Safety Training(ST), Safety Attitude(SA), Communication & Reporting(CR), Leadership & Supervision(LS), and Environment & Equipment(EE). The seven safety dimensions is to investigate the different of the safety culture assessment of urban and rural, and takes a appropriate action to decrease the accidents and upgrade the image of public sector. The results of the study show that the whole safety culture dimension of rural clearance is better than urban. It might be the safety action easy to reach the propaganda effect due to the lesser members and duties. It also shows that higher age, lower level of education, and higher service period has less safety culture knowledge. The staff’s knowledge of the safety culture is higher than the worker’s and the temporary worker’s is higher than worker’s. .
