1. Traditional safety measurements, such as accident rate and incidencerate, are not sensitive enough to provide useful informationabout safety problems. Safety climate can identify safety problemsbefore they develop into accidents and injuries, meaning that it is aleading indicator instead of a lagging indicator.2. Measuring safety climate helps focus safety efforts on improvingproblematic areas, which can also lead to improvement of otherfunctions in the company. It provides a mechanism to optimiseinvestment on safety-related improvements.3. Safety climate measurement serves as a valuable tool to identifytrends in the organisation's safety performance and to establishbenchmarks both internally and externally.4. A safety climate survey costs less money and time to be conducted,although safety climate measurement cannot replace other diagnostictools and safety activities.5. Safety climate survey measurement involves employees in the process,which can help identify key issues that need to be addressed.There is also an assurance that employees will not be identifiable,thus encouraging them to express their true feeling without anyfear of reprisal.Research has found positive association between safety climate andsafe work behaviour [31] and is correlated with the safety level of thework environment, better safety practices, and lower accident rate[37]. In addition, safety climate is seen as a predictor of injury severityand injury frequency [38] aswell as related to self-report of compliancewith safety procedures and participation in safety-related activitieswithin the workplace [39]. Therefore, it can be concluded that thedevelopment of safety climate will promote the elimination of unsafeacts and conditions and ultimately lead to accident prevention and safetyimprovement.
