Constructing Active Health and Safety Performance Questionnaire in the Food Manufacturing Industry. Int J Occup Saf Ergon. 2019 Mar 01;:1-21 Authors: Cheng SY, Lin KP, Liou YW, Hsiao CH, Liu YJ Abstract To design a comprehensive health and safety management performance system, extant literature on the health and safety performance indicators of and management systems for the application of occupational health and safety management systems was reviewed; additionally, the provisions of occupational health and safety laws were examined with a total of three main categories, including 28 active safety and health management performance categories. In the present study, health and safety management performance was evaluated by food manufacturing industry employees. An active performance evaluation questionnaire was developed by adopting the Delphi method to seek professional and expert opinion. With food manufacturing workers as participants, an in-depth discussion was conducted regarding the status of active health and safety performance indicators. Six active health and safety performance indicators were determined: emergency response, change management, procurement management, communication, prevention management, and security behavior; these performance indicators have not been sufficiently implemented and require improvement.
