Project description
This research will document employees health, working environment and perceived safety and risk at the workplace after the bomb explosion on the 22nd of July 2011. This project aims to find answers on how a terror attack influences employees health, status of health over time, and how different factors of management and work environment are either beneficial or detrimental on employees health, functioning and life quality. Another objective is to obtain the employees perception of their place of work as secure and safe before the attack, how this perception has been influenced by information, drills or concrete safety procedures, and to what degree does feeling unsafe have on health.
All employees in the Government Quarter and the Ministries will be invited to participate.
The study will use a web-based questionnaire.
The investigation will have a longitudinal design, with at least two points of measurement.
The first collection of data will take place in February/March 2012.
The last one is planned for the summer of 2014.
