Abstract
Examine associations between psychosocial safety climate (PSC), occupational stress, and injury risk among lone workers (LWs) and non-LWs in the United States. Cross-sectional analysis of representative General Social Survey data. LWs were identified using a systematic approach. Logistic regression assessed associations between PSC and outcomes, including PSC-by-worker-type interaction terms, adjusting for demographic, health, and employment factors. Each 1 SD increase in PSC was associated with 45% reduced odds of stress (OR=0.55, 95% CI: 0.48-0.63) and 22% reduced odds of injury (OR=0.78, 95% CI:0.62-0.99). LWs reported lower PSC and poorer stress and injury outcomes; interactions between PSC and lone work were not statistically significant. LWs experience lower PSC and more stress and injury, highlighting the need for organizational-wide improvements in PSC, surveillance, and interventions to reduce occupational risks.
