Abstract
There is a lack of conceptual model seek about the relationship among safety management system, safety climate and safety performance. Safety climate is linked to safety performance and more research or model is needed to validate the relationship (Choudhry et al., 2008). Unless identified which factors have the greatest impact on health and safety, if not the safety management system compliance auditing will have little impact on organization’s overall safety performance (Makin and Winder, 2008). Thus, a self-administered questionnaire by using 7 points scale that includes the safety management system, safety climate, and safety performance scales were used to collect the data in construction sites of Malaysia.
The objectives of this study are to identify relationship between safety management system and safety climate, safety climate and safety performance, and safety management system and safety performance in construction sites, to develop a conceptual relationship model among the safety management system, safety climate and safety performance and also to identify safety climate as a mediating role between safety management system and safety performance. This study instruments are developed through the generation of items adapted from previous researchers, subsequent item reduction procedures, experts’ interview, pilot study and data reduction by using SPSS 16.0 exploratory factor analysis to yield adequate reliabilities for each dimension of measurement.
