Author ' s response to reviews Title : Assessing the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire

result section: Internal consistency is displayed with data that is not displayed in the text or in tables (#=0,878). 0.647 – 0.827 should be displayed. Response: We corrected the numbers in the result section of the abstract. Conclusions: It seems to be wise to state that the German language version of the SAQ needs some minor improvements and after these may appear to be a sound instrument. The recommendations in the text do not match with the conclusions in the abstract section. Response: We agree that readers might draw other conclusions from the main text than from the abstract. We therefore revised the text under the subheading “recommendations” to match with the text in the abstract.
