Abstract

This Study employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. It aims to investigate the relationship between the occupational health and safety management system and safety behavior at work. The sample consisted of 360 production employees. Participants were selected using cluster sampling. The research instrument is a questionnaire divided into sections on personal data, information on the occupational health and safety management system, and data on the safety behavior of production process employees. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics to calculate percentages, means, and standard deviations, as well as one-way analysis of variance and multiple regression analysis. The research findings revealed that factors significantly influencing employees' safety behavior at work included the occupational health and safety management system in terms of organizational context (X1), leadership and worker participation (X2), operation (X5), and performance evaluation (X6). Theses’factors showed a statistically significant relationship at the 0.05 level. Together, these four variables accounted for 21.00 % of the variance in the safety behavior of production employees.
