title: Temporal stability of a safety attitude inventory.
abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the temporal stability of a paper-and-pencil inventory on safety attitudes, the Employee Safety Inventory. 62 employees of a major publishing company completed the inventory twice with a 10-day interval between testings. A test-retest reliability coefficient of .88 was obtained for the over-all Safety Index. No significant differences in reliability coefficients were found between men and women or between those who had experienced major life events during the time between testings and those who had not experienced such events. This inventory provided a highly reliable measure of safety attitudes.
