Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explain the role of safety culture in the manufacturing industry in Malaysia and identify factors contribute to safety culture. It is suggested in this study that leadership support, management commitment and safety management system are important factors that contribute to safety culture. This study also provides theoretical implications to guide future research and offers practical implications to the managers in the development of safety culture. Given that safety is able to determine an organization’s profit or loss, safety should be given equal attention like other important elements such as quality and productivity in the process of developing a safety culture.
