“…A factor reduction using EFA led to the identification of OCS, supervisory commitment to safety, TOS, employee engagement to safety and HSE compliance as the dimensions of safety climate. These findings complement the results of previous studies that identified safety climate and perception of process safety as employee engagement to safety, employee safety performance and safe working environment (Mazrouei et al , 2019; Probst, 2015; Roughton et al , 2019; Tawfik et al , 2019). Our findings are in line with Griffin and Curcuruto (2016) and Naik (2019), who found that safety climate is a shared concept which results from individuals’ shared insights and observations of different ways that safety is valued in the organization.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop and validate a safety climate scale for measuring the safety climate in the oil and gas industry. Design/methodology/approach The scale developed through conducting a literature review about the safety climate and constructing a question pool. The number of items was reduced to 51 after performing a screening process. Explanatory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were performed to examine the scale’s construct validity. Findings CFA loadings were statistically significant. All Cronbach’s alpha (a) and composite reliability values support the construct reliability. The outcomes showed acceptable convergent and discriminant validity: AVEs showed acceptable values, and the square roots of AVE values showed higher values than the construct correlation values. Furthermore, all factor loadings exceeded 0.50, and the t-values were statistically significant. CFA loadings were statistically significant. Originality/value The safety climate measuring scale of 43-instrument items produced in this study is reliable and valid for the oil and gas industry.

“…Industries in underdeveloped and developing countries usually have implemented safety management system (SMS) 1 but they lack PSM system or struggle to implement PSM 2 . Usually, safety management system is not implemented in true spirit and major accidents and incidents are occurring at regular intervals.…”

A general guide how to implement process safety management (PSM) is missing in the literature. This article provides general procedure to implement PSM which any industry in underdeveloped, developing and developed countries can adopt to start PSM implementation. PSM implementation can be initiated through the proposed framework consisting of four steps: (1) PSM introduction, (2) Assigning departmental wise PSM duties, (3) Trainings and (4) Audits and improvements. Trainings include process hazard analysis (PHA) using Integrated What‐If/HAZOP analysis, quantitative risk assessments using ALOHA or equivalent software, PSM forms developments and other trainings. In a case study, ammonia release is estimated and quantified using ALOHA. Nine various forms for PSM are required to be developed for industry implementing PSM. Various trainings should be arranged including specific learning outcomes and few examples are discussed in this article. An audit scheme is proposed for any new industry implementing PSM. PSM elements implementation sequence is discussed. New established industries can adopt this procedure to implement PSM following suggested forms and sequences, which can help engineers in understanding PSM implementation. This PSM implementation proposed framework is being implemented in the fertilizer industry and caustic industry.
