Objectives: In Norwegian aquaculture, safer technology and better safety management systems have been developed during the last decade. Safety commitment and safe behavior are still vital to ensure a safe working environment. The objective of this paper is to explore what factors might influence the reporting of hazardous situations in aquaculture. The significance of factors on both the individual (work experience, position) and company/organizational level (company size, safety climate) was studied. It was hypothesized that reporting of hazardous situations was positively predicted by work experience, having the position as operational manager, company size, and safety climate.

Methods: The study is based on a quantitative questionnaire study involving 428 fish farmers, operational managers, and service vessel employees in the Norwegian aquaculture industry, interviewed by telephone. A purposive sampling procedure was employed. Correlation and hierarchical regression analyses were applied. The data quality was considered satisfactory.

Results: Individual factors had no significant relationship with the reporting of hazardous situations. Company size and safety climate factors had positive associations with reporting. Larger companies might have more resources for safety management and the development of practical reporting solutions. A positive safety climate might increase the motivation for reporting.

Conclusion: Efforts by management to improve the safety climate can contribute to the reporting of hazardous events, continuous improvement of safety management and improvement of the safety level.

目标：在过去的十年中，挪威水产养殖业已开发出更安全的技术和更好的安全管理系统。安全承诺和安全行为对于确保安全的工作环境仍然至关重要。本文的目的是探讨哪些因素可能会影响水产养殖危害状况的报告。研究了因素对个人（工作经验，职位）和公司/组织级别（公司规模，安全环境）的重要性。假设危险情况的报告是由工作经验，具有运营经理，公司规模和安全环境的职位积极预测的。

方法：本研究是基于一项定量问卷调查，该调查涉及挪威水产养殖业的428名养鱼户，业务经理和服务船员工，并通过电话进行了采访。采用有目的的抽样程序。应用了相关性和层次回归分析。数据质量被认为是令人满意的。

结果：个别因素与危险情况的报告没有显着关系。公司规模和安全气候因素与报告呈正相关。较大的公司可能有更多资源用于安全管理和开发实用的报告解决方案。积极的安全气氛可能会增加举报的动机。

结论：管理层为改善安全环境所做的努力可有助于危险事件的报告，持续改进安全管理和提高安全水平。
