Knowledge and Perceptions of safety risks in conventional x-ray film processing in Gauteng, Mpumalanga and North West Province, South Africa

Data Set The ‘perceptions of safety at the workplace’ was measured using a 5-point Likert Scale (strongly disagree to strongly agree, where category 1 = highly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = do not know, 4 = agree and 5 = strongly agree). The number of categories was consolidated from five (5) to three (3), where category 1 represents strongly disagree, disagree and do not know, which denotes poor perceptions; category 2 represents agree which denotes average perceptions; and lastly, category 3 represents strongly agree and denotes high perceptions of safety at the workplace. The effectiveness of OHS training was assessed using the following variables: • knowledge of the constituents of processing chemicals • perceptions about the danger of processing chemicals, i.e. whether the chemicals are hazardous or toxic • perceptions of the importance of protection from exposure to processing chemicals • knowledge of Darkroom Diseases • perceptions of susceptibility to Darkroom Disease • perceptions of the threat of Darkroom Disease to one’s health数据集 本数据集针对「工作场所安全感知」的测量采用5点李克特量表（5-point Likert Scale），选项覆盖「完全不同意」至「完全同意」五个档位，其中类别1=极不同意，2=不同意，3=不确定，4=同意，5=完全同意。研究将原5个类别整合为3个：类别1涵盖极不同意、不同意与不确定，代表对工作场所安全感知较差；类别2涵盖同意，代表感知水平一般；类别3涵盖完全同意，代表对工作场所安全感知较高。 职业健康安全（Occupational Health and Safety，OHS）培训效果通过以下变量进行评估： • 加工化学品组成成分相关知识 • 对加工化学品危险性的认知，即判断化学品是否具有危害性或毒性 • 对规避加工化学品暴露风险的重要性的认知 • 暗室疾病（Darkroom Diseases）相关知识 • 对自身罹患暗室疾病易感性的认知 • 对暗室疾病威胁自身健康程度的认知
