ASSESSMENT OF SAFETY MANAGEMENT ATTITUDE PRACTICES TOWARD THE SAFETY CULTURE OF THE CONSTRUCTION SECTOR

Abstract

A safety management attitude is essential to create a safety culture at construction sites. The construction sector was known to have a high risk of site accidents. Then, preventing the risk of accidents requires the implementation of safety culture measures. A safety culture acts as a guide to decrease the risk. This study aims to assess the safety management attitudes toward safety culture at construction sites. A sample of 376 respondents was recruited to complete the questionnaires regarding management commitment, safety procedures, and compliance with safety culture. The SPSS 24.0 and AMOS 24.0 software were used to conduct the data analysis. The findings demonstrated that management commitment, safety procedure, and safety compliance significantly and positively affected safety culture (p-value< 0.05). Thus, adequate implementation of a safety culture was ensured to decrease the accidents at the construction site and achieve zero industrial accidents.
