Abstract-This paper aims to investigate the role of safety training practices to safety performance in Malaysia's automotive industry. This study adopts a non-experimental type research which employs questionnaire as the method of collecting data. The measurement tool undertaken in the data collection is Safety Performance Scale that developed by Wu et al. (2007). A total of 696 employees from Malaysia automotive manufacturing and assembly plants are selected as the respondents of this study. The selection of respondents is made using systematic sampling design. Data of the study are then analyzed using canonical correlation analysis. The finding of the study highlights that safety training practices plays a significant influence to an organization's safety performance (r 2 = 0.631, p <0.001).Index Terms-Safety at work, safety training practices, safety performance, and malaysia's automotive manufacturing and assembly plants.

“…Young workers (15-24 yrs old) have a disproportionately high rate of injuries in the workplace and many are employed on a casual, temporary or intermittent basis, in jobs that require low technical skill (Thamrin et al, 2010). In the current study, 16.2% of students were currently employed at the time of the survey or had been employed while enrolled in school with only 12.2% of them have received a previous training on occupational hazards that will make those students at a greater risk for occupational hazards.…”

Introduction: Workers represent half of the world's population. Maintaining a safe working environment is reflected on a healthy worker. Some reasons for not implementing the safety policy by most developing countries are lack of effective enforcement system, lack of information and accurate records of occupational diseases and accidents, and lack of basic professional training in occupational health and safety. Aim of Work: To assess a technical school students' knowledge, attitude, and practice toward the occupational health hazards. Changes in their knowledge were also measured before & after the health education session. Materials and Methods: A health education training session was done on fifty students in a technical education school in Abbasia district, Cairo. Their level of knowledge regarding occupational health was measured by means of a questionnaire distributed among them before and after the session. Results: Only 12.2 % of studied students have reported a previous training on occupational hazards. Thirty five students (71.4%) reported that their work require personal protective equipments (PPEs), 63.3% of students reported that they are protective to their health in workplace and 61.2% prefer to wear them; however only 26.5 % were always wearing them. Only about half of students (51%) knew the correct definition of periodic medical examination. After the health education program, there was a statistically significant improvement in the knowledge of occupational law, proper management of chemical spill and knowledge of hazard of machinery noise. Conclusion: Technical school students require further training sessions to provide them with the knowledge needed to protect themselves and their working environment.
