This study involves the development and reliability evaluations of a checklist for measuring the state of housekeeping in industry. The instrument was tested in fifty-nine companies in the transportation equipment and machinery manufacturing sector in Quebec, Canada, each employing between twenty and sixty workers. The checklist walk-through procedure usually required under thirty minutes. For test–retest reliability, a total of 121 comparisons were made based on visits made to the companies by one observer over the course of a year. Results for visits made closer together in time were more reproducible (Intra-class correlation, ICC=0.73) than for those further apart in time (ICC=0.55). The study also used alternate observers to test inter-observer reliability. Inter-observer reliability was high (ICC=0.88). Ease of use, time and effectiveness makes the checklist an attractive tool for company health and safety personnel. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
