The Importance of Training and Employees’ Involvement in Promoting a Safety Culture in Malaysian Port Industries | Chapter 1 | Research Developments in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 5

In order to increase the likelihood of guaranteeing a safe workplace, improving safety culture is a crucial component of decreasing risk and accidents. One of the most hazardous businesses in the world today is the port sector. The port business continues to be interested in occupational safety due to the rise in workplace accidents.

Therefore, the purpose of this article is to provide a fresh framework for fostering a safety culture in Malaysia's port sector. The authors undertook a thorough literature research to identify the critical elements in creating the safety culture model for the Malaysian port sector. This research presented a safety culture framework for the port sector that would be measured by two behavioural variables: training and employee engagement. It was based on the Reciprocal Safety Culture Model and the literature review carried out. These suggested factors can be tested in additional study to validate the models. Organizations in the port sector can use and put this idea into practise.
