“…Organizations must conduct frequent, comprehensive, and systematic health and safety training programs to improve employees’ knowledge ( 129 ). Workers’ knowledge related to performing their jobs safely, how to use safety equipment and standard operating procedures, how to maintain or improve safety and health in the workplace, how to reduce the risk of accidents and incidents in the workplace, the associated hazards and necessary precautions, and how to report potential hazards noticed in the workplace are the six items of the safety knowledge scale ( 156 ).…”

Health, safety, and environment (HSE) are critical aspects of any industry, particularly in high-risk environments, such as the oil and gas industry. Continuous accident reports indicate the requirement for the effective implementation of safety rules, regulations, and practices. This systematic literature review examines the relationship between safety communication and safety commitment in high-risk workplaces, specifically focusing on the oil and gas industry. The review comprises 1,439 articles from 2004 to 2023, retrieved from the Scopus and Web of Science databases following the PRISMA comprehensive guidelines. This study considers safety communication, communication climate, and communication satisfaction to evaluate their influence on safety commitment under occupational health and safety. This study identifies safety commitment issues and their underlying factors, discussing measures for preventing and reducing accidents and incidents and highlighting preventive measures for future research. It also signifies the variables influencing accident and incident rates. The research underscores the importance of communication dimensions and the need for workers to possess adequate skills, knowledge, and attitudes regarding occupational safety and health procedures. Moreover, the study contributes to the industrial and academic domains by improving organizational safety commitment, promoting a safety culture, and developing effective communication strategies. Furthermore, practitioners may benefit from this comprehensive overview in developing, evaluating, and enhancing occupational safety.

“…The model fit was assessed using the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA), the comparative fit index (CFI), the incremental fit index (IFI) and the chi-square/degrees of freedom ratio (χ 2 / df ). If the RMSEA is less than 0.08, CFI value is 0.9 or higher, the IFI value is 0.8 or 0.9, and the χ 2 / df is less than 3, then the fit of the model is appropriate [ 24 ].…”

Background Work design questionnaire (WDQ), as a comprehensive and integrative tool, is one of the most important instruments frequently used to assess work characteristics. The aim of this study was to measure the psychometric characteristics of the Persian version of WDQ. Methods Translation and cross-cultural adaptation procedures were applied in translating the original WDQ into Persian. A total of 270 participants participated in this study. The validity of the questionnaire were measured using face validity, content validity, convergent validity, and construct validity based on confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Reliability was assessed through internal consistency. Results Mean content validity index was 0.95. The CFA results indicated support for a 21-factor solution. There were significant correlations between dimensions of WDQ and both job satisfaction and perceived stress. Cronbach's alpha of all items was 0.87. Conclusion Results indicated that the WDQ exhibited very good psychometric properties and can be applied as a useful tool to assess work characteristics among Iranian employees. Accordingly, the authors recommend its administration in future studies. The work characteristics was significantly associated with job satisfaction and job stress. Therefore, improved work design would reduce negative consequences, such as job stress, and increase positive behaviors, such as job satisfaction.

“…Safety knowledge is the awareness of proper methods for performing safe behaviours as proximal antecedents of safety performance or mediators of the relationship between personality traits or job and related organizational factors and safety performance [45,59,60]. Safety knowledge is measured through a scale of six items, namely workers knowing how to perform the job safely, how to use safety equipment and standard work procedures, how to maintain or improve safety and health in the workplace, how to reduce the risk of accidents and incidents in the workplace, the associated hazards and necessary precautions, and reporting potential hazards noticed in the workplace [45]. Another proximal antecedent of safety performance was safety motivation, which refers to the enthusiasm to implement safety behaviours and the courage associated with those behaviours [45,60].…”

Another proximal antecedent of safety performance was safety motivation, which refers to the enthusiasm to implement safety behaviours and the courage associated with those behaviours [45,60]. Safety motivation is measured through a scale of three items: efforts to maintain or improve personal safety, the importance of maintaining safety at all times, and the importance of reducing the risk of accidents and incidents in the workplace [54].…”

“…On the other hand, safety participation refers to workers' behaviour in helping create an atmosphere supportive of safety that moves beyond procedures to assist colleagues, engage in voluntary safety activities, promote safety and its principles, take safety initiatives, and improve workplace safety [53]. Safety practices and leading indicators have positive and strong associations with safety compliance and safety participation [45,48,54].…”

Background: Workers in utility industries are exposed to occupational accidents due to inadequate safety management systems. Accordingly, it is necessary to characterize and compare the available literature on indicators used in safety management practices in the utility industries. Methods: The systematic literature review was based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis statement. This study considered 25 related studies from Web of Science and Scopus databases. Results: Further review of these articles resulted in three mains performance indicators; namely, driven leading indicators, observant leading indicators, and lagging indicators consisting of 15 sub-indicators. Conclusions: Future studies should consider researching a more comprehensive range of utility industries, measuring subjective and objective indicators, integrating risk management into safety management practices, and validating the influence of leading indicators on safety outcomes. Further, researchers recommend including accidents, fatalities, lost time injuries, and near misses in safety outcomes.
