“…From Table 3, the hypothesis that there is a significant impact of management commitment on the safety behaviour of healthcare workers shows that pvalue < 0.005 which is statistically significant and as a result is accepted. This finding is consistent with Garavan and O'Brien [2], Salem and Malik [18] and Pandit et al [19] who concluded that a major impact on safety behaviour was discovered by the safety climate in the form of ownership and involvement in safety as well as management commitment to safety. Amponsah-Tawaih and Adu [20] reported that workers complied with safety rules and procedures when they perceived safety communication and received training, which is an indication of the moderating role of management commitment to safety.…”

It is counter-intuitive that the healthcare industry, whose mission is the care of the sick, is itself a “high-hazard” industry for the workers it employs. Injuries at the workplace are related to unsafe work behaviour and unsafe work procedures. This research work concerns modelling safety behaviour from safety climate among healthcare workers in Benin city. The model incorporates safety climate constructs as independent variables and safety behaviour as the dependent variable. A questionnaire survey obtained 277 responses from multiple healthcare facilities in Benin City. A purposive/judgmental sampling approach was adopted to get respondents that fit the study. Multiple regression analysis was appropriate in building the model. 10 variables were originally collated but only 7 variables with factor loadings greater than 0.6 were retained after principal component analysis, and only 5 variables were statistically significant for the model development. The beta coefficients were used to study the impact of each construct on the safety behaviour of employees. As a result, safety climate constructs like management commitment, supervisory environment, workers’ involvement, personal appreciation of risk, and supportive environment, were substantially correlated with the safety behaviour of employees with 15.13, -10.309, 5.647, 1.649, -12.288 beta coefficients respectively. The overall R2 determination coefficient was 0.897 which depicts the model explains 89.7% of the variance in safety behaviour. This model has enormous potential to inspire healthcare management to facilitate safety behaviour and to successfully monitor the safety of healthcare sector workers. This research reveals that slips, trips, falls, needle prick injuries, cross-contamination, infections and diseases, mental stress, exposure to x-ray radiation, direct contact with contaminated specimen, musculoskeletal disorder as the most recurring accidents/near misses experienced as a result of unsafe behaviour of healthcare workers in their organizations. This research also reveals unsafe behaviours such as improper use of PPE, no use of PPE, taking shortcuts, verbal abuse, unsafe injection practice, working long hours, negligence and carelessness as some of the unsafe behaviours of healthcare workers in their organizations. Findings from this research reveals shortage of staff, fines and associated legal fees, retraining of new staff as some of the cost and consequences of unsafe work behaviour by healthcare workers to their organizations. Management should concentrate on more significant constructs to achieve the optimal and successful safety performance of healthcare workers.

“…Good leaders communicate with their subordinates. They give them guides and involve them in safety discussions and decision making [81]. This involvement keeps the workers engaged and makes them feel equally responsible for workplace safety.…”

Accidents in gas stations may cause injury or even death to people. Moreover, an accident in a gas station might halt its operation for some time. When an accident takes place in a region with scant amount of gas stations, it may lead to fuel scarcity in the area, affecting the economy and sparking other issues. Therefore, safety climate and safety performance in gas stations need to be evaluated. Safety climate has been used as a tool to assess the safety performance of an organization at a given time. The aim of this study was to understand the influence of safety climate on safety performance in gas stations in Indonesia. A total of 129 gas stations were selected. To assess safety climate, a safety climate questionnaire was used, while the safety performance was captured by conducting on site structured observations. The assessment shows that gas stations have a good level of safety climate, especially when it is compared with other industrial sectors in Indonesia, such as construction. The study findings also show that safety climate has a significant positive impact on safety performance. Three safety climate dimensions with significant positive influence on safety performance are management commitment, communication, and personal accountability. Therefore, improvement efforts should focus more on these dimensions to boost safety performance in gas stations.

“…Por lo tanto, se requiere la provisión de capacitación a los trabajadores para aumentar y mejorar la conciencia de sus subordinados. Es por ello, que los estudios sugieren que la conciencia es un predictor importante de los comportamientos de seguridad y debe estar presente al realizar actividades laborales (Saleem & Malik, 2022).…”

Implementar un Sistema de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo es muy importante en la industria de la construcción, debido a que es el sector donde se presenta muchos riesgos y peligros, de llegar a sufrir accidentes y en casos mayores, la muerte. Atendiendo la necesidad, el presente artículo buscó identificar la utilidad e importancia de la implementación de un sistema de seguridad y salud ocupacional, asimismo, recopilar información e incrementar el conocimiento y que pueda ser útil y ayudar a la orientación de futuras investigaciones. Como metodología se planteó la revisión y el análisis de 28 fuentes bibliográficas las cuales permitan la identificación de evidencias existentes de investigaciones relativas al tema abordado. La selección de fuentes bibliográficas se realizó en Scopus, Web of Science, Scielo. Entre los resultados obtenidos se encuentra, la cultura de seguridad laboral, el plan de seguridad, el riesgo laboral, así como la gestión y conciencia de seguridad. Concluyendo que la adecuada implementación de un sistema de seguridad y salud ocupacional permite la prevención de accidentes laborales y así evitar pérdidas económicas y sanciones a la empresa constructora responsable, por parte de las entidades encargadas de supervisar las condiciones de los trabajadores.
