Background A safe working environment in the health sector contributes significantly to employee and patient safety and supports positive patient outcomes. Nurses play an important role in improving the healthcare quality related to patient safety practices. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the emergency service work environment on nurses’ patient safety attitudes. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in the emergency departments of 15 tertiary public hospitals and university hospitals in Izmir, Turkey. 288 nurses who worked 6 months or more in emergency departments were included in the sample. The personal information form, safety attitudes questionnaire, and work environment scale were used in the data collection. Results The total mean score for the safety attitudes questionnaire was 136.69 ± 22.14, and the total mean score for Work Environment Scale was 84.51 ± 12.02. A positive correlation was detected between the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire total score and Work Environment Scale total score ( r = 0.38, p < 0.001). Conclusion The patient safety attitudes of the emergency room nurses were moderately positive, the nurses evaluated the working environment positively, and positive work environments affected patient safety attitudes positively.

After the merger of PT Pelindo, PT Pelindo Terminal Petikemas became one of the sub-holding companies in containers. In maintaining consistency with the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) after the merger, PT Pelindo Terminal Petikemas needs to understand the importance of safety leadership, safety culture, safety behavior, and safety performance in the OHS program's success. The study aimed to determine the effect of safety leadership on safety culture and safety performance, the effect of safety culture and safety behavior on safety performance, and safety behavior to act as a mediation between safety leadership and safety performance, and safety culture on safety performance at PT Pelindo Terminal Petikemas. The samples of 130 employees are then analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS software. The results showed that safety leadership has a significant effect on safety culture and safety performance. Safety culture and safety behavior have a significant effect on safety performance. Safety behavior can mediate between safety culture and performance, while safety behavior cannot act as a mediation between safety leadership and performance. This research implies that PT Pelindo Terminal Petikemas's management can select several strong and trustworthy employees from each terminal who merge to lead initiatives regarding company safety and communicate with the central command.
