<![CDATA[Work in the quarry area of the cement industry has a high risk of occupational accidents. Workers' understanding of the safety climate is important to prevent workplace accidents and injuries. This study aimed to assess the safety climate in the quarry area of a cement plant in Indonesia while identifying aspects that still require improvement. This study employed a descriptive quantitative approach using a questionnaire adapted from the Loughborough Safety Climate Assessment Toolkit (LSCAT). The sample consisted of all workers in the quarry area, including 49 permanent workers and 90 contract workers. The results showed that the average safety climate score reached 8.09 out of 10. Organizational Safety Values obtained the highest score, followed by Group Safety Values, while Individual Safety Values obtained the lowest score. The subvariables with scores below the overall average included safety rules and procedures, work environment, and personal appreciation of risk. The most prominent gap was found in the Individual Safety Values dimension, where personal priority and need for safety obtained the highest score (8.96), whereas personal appreciation of risk obtained the lowest score (6.89). These findings indicate that workers have a strong willingness to work safely but have not yet fully developed adequate competence in identifying and assessing risks independently. Therefore, improving workers' competence in conducting risk assessments, strengthening the dissemination of occupational safety and health (OSH) procedures, and improving physical working conditions should be prioritized to strengthen the safety climate in the quarry area.
