Farm worker safety depends more on relationships than rulebooks
OpenAlex · 2026-08-14
A New Zealand PhD thesis finds that dairy farm workers' safety behavior is shaped less by formal training programs than by everyday relationship dynamics like fairness, power, and reciprocity between workers and managers.
1
The study used a pilot survey (NOSACQ-50) that found low overall safety perceptions among NZ dairy farm workgroups
2
Data was collected from early-career workers via real-time WhatsApp scenario responses, analyzed with a novel AI-assisted Python method
3
Workers often prioritized maintaining harmony with coworkers and managers over reporting hazards, even when formal safety systems existed
