“…Safety training is critical especially to tutor employees on safety training and compliance, which will offer prevention of accidents and controls. Safety training is also of chief concern for the success of the OHS program [ 38 ]. In addition, appropriate safety training can upgrade safety climates along with safety culture levels, which ultimately enhances effective safety performance in the construction industry [ 39 ].…”

“…A comparative study was made before and after applying safety training using Spearman’s correlation test; results showed that safety education and training can advance the level of safety climate and its relevant factors for better safety performance in construction firms [ 35 ]. Safety training is able to moderate the relationship between safety climate and safety performance in construction firms in developing countries like Nepal [ 38 ]. Safety training services are one of the mechanisms offered by legislation to promote safe behaviors of employees in construction firms [ 40 ].…”

“…Safety training acts as an adjacent latent variable that has a constructive relationship with the employer’s safety behavior [ 41 ]. Moreover, construction firms can improve workers’ protective actions through seminars, training and conferences through increasing awareness of health and safety activities [ 38 , 42 ]. Furthermore, the amelioration of the safety performance of construction employers is deeply affected by safety training and training technologies in any organization [ 20 ].…”

“…Considerations from the management level are mainly reflected in the safety production plan, specific measures and supervision [ 45 ], while at the operating level, physiological, psychological and technical factors have great impacts on workers’ unsafe behaviors [ 63 ]. Prior studies have identified that safety behavior has an optimistic relationship with the safety performance of a construction project [ 38 , 64 , 65 ].…”

Safety education and training for employees is important to ensure the safety of construction and improve the safety awareness of employees. It is difficult to meet the needs of the new situation of safety production with traditional safety education and training consequences of construction enterprises. To address this deficiency, this research analyzed the formation mechanism of safety behavior of personnel at different levels in construction enterprises from the perspective of behaviorist psychology and studied their different needs for safety training, designing training programs for simple safety behavior and complex safety behavior according to the degree of difficulty of the training content. This research also developed and tested models of training frequency and training times and carried out corresponding experimental research. Through the experiments of “safety behavior by wearing a helmet” and “fire control consciousness training”, it was found that the training of consciousness of relatively complex safety behavior should follow the principles that each training should last longer and the training interval should not be too short, so as to minimize the cost of safety education and training while ensuring the quality of safety education and training.

“…Similarly, Wahab et al (2014)'s findings show that safety training practises have a significant impact on an organization's safety performance. Sukamani, Wang & Kusi (2021) had shown how safety training moderated the relation between safety worker behaviour & safety performance. Ünal et al (2019) conducted a study on workers in Turkish manufacturing companies, finding a positive relationship between employee work involvement and safety performance.…”

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are widely acknowledged as the backbone of the Malaysian economy. Therefore, it is very important that SMEs manage occupational health and safety adequately. The purpose of this paper is to investigate safety management practices and its associations with the safety performance in Malaysian Bumiputera SMEs. A safety management system reflects the organization's commitment to safety which will result in improved safety performance; thus, it is worth investigating. In particular, this study aims to determine the relationship of safety management practices (entrepreneur's commitment, safety training, worker's involvement in safety, safety communication, safety rules and procedures, and safety promotion policies) and safety performance (safety compliance and participation). In doing so, survey questions from previous studies are adopted and customized to collect data. The sample of 272 Bumiputera SME entrepreneurs is utilized, and the data are analysed using SPSS version 27. The results of the study reveal that safety management practice facets i.e., safety rules and procedures, safety communication, and entrepreneur commitment significantly influence safety performance. While safety promotion, worker involvement and safety training are not useful to the prediction of safety performance. This enables practitioners and scholars to comprehend and make appropriate decisions that can enhance safety performance among Bumiputera SME entrepreneurs in Malaysia.
