A Research on the Effect of Organizational Safety Climate Upon the Safe Behaviors

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the relationship between the organizational safety climate and the safety behaviors of the employees. It is been accepted by many researchers that unsafe employee behavior at work place is one of the primary determinants of occupational accidents.
