Safety Compliance and Participation Scale
The Safety Compliance and Participation Scale (SCPS) measures workers' occupational safety behavior across two dimensions: safety compliance (following safety rules and procedures) and safety participation (proactive engagement in safety activities beyond minimum requirements). Developed by Neal and Griffin, the SCPS recognizes that safe workplaces require both compliance with formal rules and voluntary engagement in safety culture. The scale predicts injury rates, identifies high-risk workers or departments, and evaluates the effectiveness of safety interventions.
