Safety problems are related to unsafe & careless employees, many safety problems can be resolved, if behaviors are closely monitored. Studies found that the causes of accidents at the workplace were due to the workers negligence, failure (1) of obey work procedures, and poor safety attitude. Survey study was designed to determine the current status of commitment behavioral based safety in some petroleum companies in Alexandria, analyze the safety management, identify its dimensions, propose the consequences of safety management and employees' safety behavior, reduce risks and improve safety. The research has been performed on 3 petroleum companies. First survey on the 3 companies was individual survey measuring the percentage of apply the occupational management systems according to OHSAS 18001/2007, the second survey was carried on Company A for measure the relation of safety behavior with safety knowledge, the total participated number (n=100); The study was done during the period from January 2016 to May 2017.
Introduction: Safety problems are basically related to unsafe or careless employees. Many safety problems can be resolved, if behaviors are closely monitored and corrected. Studies found that the causes of accidents at workplace are due to workers' negligence, failure to comply with work procedures, and poor safety attitude. Aim of work: To determine the current status of workers' commitment for HSE (Health, Safety, and Environmental), management systems in some petroleum companies and provide evidence about the factors that should be encouraged to reduce risks and improve commitment in workers' behavior in these organizations. Materials and Methods: It comprised two parts; part I which was an inspection-based study for measuring the percentage of applying the occupational management systems according to OHSAS 18001/2007 in three petroleum companies using Accident Compensation Cooperation (ACC's) workplace safety management audit checklist (2017), and selection of the lowest committed company to apply the second stage, and part II which was intervention study by performing training sessions concentrating on behavioral based safety (BBS) to measure the relation of safety behavior with safety knowledge. Results: From the results of ACC's checklist, the company that had the lowest achievement percentage was Company A which had 75% compliance with the OHSAS18001/2007. It was revealed that safety culture does not have a significant direct effect on personnel behavior before training (β=0.112, p=0.234) which was reversed after training (β=-0.112, p=0.000). Conclusion:The present study approved the significant influence of safety culture in ameliorating personnel safety behaviors in petroleum sites emphasizing the obligation
