Abstract

Behaviour-based safety refers to the process that assists employees in identifying and choosing a safe behaviour over an unsafe one. The workplace safety refers to elements such as the person, the environment, and individual behaviour. Only when these elements are harmonized, then the workplace accidents or injuries can be avoided. Therefore, the objectives of this study are fourfold; a) to examine the relationship between the organizational context toward employee safety behaviour, b) to examine the relationship between the social environment toward employee safety behaviour, c) to examine the relationship between the individual appreciation toward employee safety behaviour, and d) to examine the relationship between the work environment toward employee safety behaviour. The participants were among employees in an electrical company in the East Coast of Malaysia. The data collected were analysed using SPSS and PLS software. The results concluded that all the variables were significantly correlated and contribute towards the employees’ safety behaviour. Therefore, any organizations that uphold a strong safety environment practices would experience less accidental rates, turnover, absenteeism and better performance or productivity.
