Objectives. Occupational safety and health (OSH) measures for frontline police officers are developing rapidly in many western societies. Various organizations, such as police forces and unions, view this development as necessary in the face of increasing numbers of assaults, knife crime, rampages and terrorist attacks. Also, current research seems to promote a progressive aggregation of OSH focusing on frontline officers on the beat. This article aims to explore possible side effects of the current development, based on a recent qualitative small-scale research project with the participation of 12 highly experienced frontline police constables in Hampshire, England, all having around 24 years of service. Methods. As a clearly explorative study, semi-structured interviews were deployed. While using inductive theorizing and understanding the participating police constables as humans at work, the identification and collection of inner context components such as the participants’ perceptions, motivations, emotions, beliefs, values or attitudes have been intentionally put at front. Conclusions. Particularly, emphasizing individual risk assessment and risk perception, current research has identified that an organizational over-reliance on standardized risk management processes might trigger police officers’ risk averseness, overall leading to a habitual over-worrying about things and bringing safety culture and occupational cop culture into disagreement.

目标。在许多西方社会，一线警察的职业安全与健康 (OSH) 措施正在迅速发展。面对越来越多的袭击、持刀犯罪、暴行和恐怖袭击，警察部队和工会等各种组织认为这一发展是必要的。此外，目前的研究似乎促进了职业安全与卫生的逐步聚合，重点是节拍的前线人员。本文旨在探索当前发展的可能副作用，基于最近的一个定性小规模研究项目，该项目有 12 名经验丰富的前线警员参与，他们都在英格兰汉普郡服务了大约 24 年。方法。作为一项明确的探索性研究，采用了半结构化访谈。在使用归纳理论和将参与的警察理解为工作中的人的同时，有意将参与者的感知、动机、情感、信仰、价值观或态度等内部背景成分的识别和收集放在首位。结论。特别是强调个人风险评估和风险认知，目前的研究发现，组织过度依赖标准化的风险管理流程可能会引发警官的风险厌恶情绪，总体上会导致习惯性的过度担忧，并带来安全文化和职业警察。文化变成分歧。
