Abstract

Abstract-

The Effect of Safety Management Practices Through Safety Knowledge Towards Safety Performance on Workers of Pt. Masmindo Dwi Area

“…Situational factors are related to safety climate and safety leadership 10,11 The results explained before were in line with the statements of Vinodkumar and Bhasi who found that safety management practices had influence on safety performance 8 . Apart from being in line with the theory put forward by Vinodkumar & Bhasi, the results of this study were also in line with research by Froko et al which found that there was a positive correlation between safety climate and safety performance that could predict compliance and safety participation 12 . Safety management practices had direct significant influence towards safety performance through its six indicators consisting of management commitment, safety training, worker involvement in solving safety problems, safety communication and feedback, safety rules and procedures, and safety promotion policies.…”

“…According to the correlation analysis results regarding the relationship between dimensions of safety climate and safety participation, there is a significant relationship between safety participation and both dimensions of safety climate (p<0.01). Froko & Umar (2015) found a significant relationship between the control practices dimension of safety climate and safety participation in their studies with mine workers. In addition, in their study with workers from the manufacturing and mining industries, Neal & Griffin (2000) have concluded that safety climate directly affects safety performance (safety compliance and safety participation).…”

“…Results of these studies suggest that there is a positive relationship between safety climate and safety behaviours (Neal et al, 2000;Neal & Griffin, 2000;Garcia et al, 2004;Cooper & Philips, 2004;Wu et al, 2008;Zhu et al, 2010;Lu & Yang, 2011;Kundu et al, 2015;Froko & Dursun, S. & B.

In addition, some studies have reported a significant relationship between safety climate and exposure to occupational accidents or near-miss incidents (Williamson et al, 1997;Evans et al, 2005;Hahn & Murphy, 2008;Vinodkumar & Bhasi, 2008;Karadal & Merdan, 2017).…”

Safety climate and occupational safety behaviours: the mediating role of psychological ownership among construction professionals

“…However, there are only a few studies in the context of Ghana. The majority were conducted in other fields including drivers of haulage companies (Amponsah-Tawiah and Mensah, 2016), fuel station attendants (Bakidamteh, 2018) and mine workers (Froko et al. , 2015), completely neglecting the construction industry.…”
