Abstract

This research aims to study components of participatory safety management in secondary schools under the Office of the Basic Education Commission, as well as the guidelines for implementing participatory safety management in these schools. The study employs a mixed-methods research approach: The study of the components of participatory safety management in secondary schools under the Office of the Basic Education Commission was conducted with a sample group of 331 school administrators. Data were collected using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire. The statistical methods used for data analysis included mean, standard deviation, and confirmatory factor analysis. The study of the guidelines for implementing participatory safety management in secondary schools under the Office of the Basic Education Commission was conducted through semi-structured interviews with seven experts, with data analyzed using content analysis. The research findings revealed that 1) the most significant component was safety culture, followed by safety measures, safety planning, safety atmosphere and environment, participation of safety-related networks, safety vision, strategy and goals, and safety leadership, respectively. The results from confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the model demonstrated a high degree of consistency with empirical data. 2) The guidelines for implementing participatory safety management in secondary schools under the Office of the Basic Education Commission consist of three key components: Part 1: Principles and objectives, Part 2: Components and guidelines for participatory safety management in secondary schools, and Part 3: Success factors.
