Table 7
Significant chi-square test of associations and associated values of OR for the analysis of the same-level subcategories in the I-HFACS framework (
).
| Significant association between the same-level subcategories in the I-HFACS framework | χ2 test | Fisher’s exact test | OR value | χ2 value | value | Theoretical frequency (expected count < 5) | value |
| I-HFACS level 5 subcategories | Regulatory factors × economic/political/social/legal environment | 4.333 | 0.037 | 25% | — | 6.859 |
| I-HFACS level 4 subcategories | Safety culture × resource management | 6.191 | 0.039 | 0 | — | 2.043 |
| I-HFACS level 3 subcategories | Inadequate design work × on-site management defects | 6.635 | 0.010 | 50% | 0.009 | 1.107 | Inadequate design work × supervisory violations | 3.97 | 0.046 | 0 | — | 1.991 |
| I-HFACS level 2 subcategories | Adverse physiological states × physical environment | 4.919 | 0.006 | 25% | — | 4.098 | Adverse spiritual states × skill underutilization | 15.092 | 0.001 | 0 | — | 4.145 |
