Abstract

The rise in workplace accidents involving assistant medical officers has shown a consistent increase year by year. Safety behavior plays a crucial role in accident prevention programs within the workplace. Safety management practices indirectly influence organizational safety behaviors among employees. This study aims to investigate the influence of safety management practices on safety behaviors. A self administered questionnaire was used for data collection, involving 170 assistant medical officers at Hospital M. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26, employing both preliminary and inferential analyses. The correlation analysis revealed a strong relationship between safety management practices and safety behavior. Additionally, regression analysis indicated that safety management practices accounted for 58.7% of the variance in safety behavior. Therefore, to enhance safety behavior during safety training, it is essential to incorporate elements of safety management practices in the development of training activities. For example, employees should be encouraged to provide feedback on workplace safety management practices, enabling management to maintain high safety standards in the workplace.
