Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between the safety climate factors (positive workforce safety attitude, acceptance of safety rules and regulations,s and reasonable production schedule) towards safety performance among workers who work under the cold storage company at Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. A survey methodology was used in this study. This research involves the utilization of a questionnaire, which was administered among one-hundred and fifty workers. The relationship between the safety climate factors (Positive workforce safety attitude, acceptance of safety rules and regulation, and reasonable production schedule) were analyzed using Pearson’s Correlation analysis test. This study's results revealed a significant relationship between (positive workforce safety attitude and acceptance of safety rules and regulations) and safety performance. Meanwhile, results showed no meaningful relationship between a reasonable production schedule and safety performance. Hence, this study hoped to raise the awareness of organizations about the importance of a safe climate in the workplace.
