Abstract

This paper provides a conceptual analysis of safety culture and safety performance in Malaysian manufacturing industries. However, manufacturing industries are facing highest number of accidents throughout a year. Due to higher occupational accidents, industries are required to verify relationship between safety culture and safety performance to optimize the productivity. It was recognized by the researchers that safety culture can be improve through five main components; management commitment, communication, safety priority, supportive environment, and involvement. These components increase the safety performance by mean of three components; safety performance report, employee's performance, and equipment performance. This study has done extensive literature review and identify the gap between safety culture and safety performance. The outcomes of this paper could help Malaysian manufacturing to increase the safety performance through reduction in accident and injury at industrial level
