Abstract

Background: The textile industry has high risks related to occupational safety and health (OSH), so work accidents often occur. The number of accidents in Indonesia is increasing from year to year. One of the methods to overcome this problem is the implementation of the Occupational Safety and Health Management System. In addition, the safety climate and safety behavior are important indicators in reducing work accidents. This study aims to analyze the influence of the safety climate on safety behavior in the textile industry. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in 2 textile companies located in Surakarta and Semarang, in June-August 2024. A sample of 200 workers was selected using simple random sampling. The dependent variable was safety behavior. The independent variables were safety climate, working period and education level. Data collection was carried out using questionnaires and data was analyzed using path analysis. Results: Safety behavior was positively influenced by condusive climate (OR= 5.04; 95% CI= 1.68 to 15.13; p= 0.004), implementing occupational health and safety management system (OR= 55.48; 95% CI= 18.26 to 168.53; p < 0.001), high education (OR= 2.18; 95% CI= 0.99 to 4.81; p= 0.052), and long tenure (OR= 2.78; 95% CI= 0.97 to 7.97; p= 0.056). Conclusion: Safety behavior is positively influenced by condusive climate, implementing occupational health and safety management system, high education, and long tenure.
