The Role of Safety Leadership, Safety Objective, and Working Conditions in Safety Performance in Pharmaceutical Industries: A Conceptual Model

Abstract

Implementing the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Management System can provide workers and prevent harm to the organisation, positively impacting the company and employees. Developing and implementing OHS policies and managing risks in organisations with four primary factors like requirements, namely hazard identification, top management support, occupational health participation, communication, security systems, and emergency response preparedness. This study analyses the role of leaders on safety, safety objectives, and working conditions in promoting employee safety behaviour in the pharmaceutical industry. This study measured safety leadership through guidance, delegation, participatory management, safety objectives measured through risk and opportunity management, incident management, safe and healthy workplaces, hazard reduction, and risk impact reduction. In contrast, working conditions are measures by temperature, noise, colour, space, and work motion. This research is a conceptual model of safety behaviour in supporting safety performance validated only through a pilot survey with 32 respondents. This conceptual model still requires further validation with a more significant number of respondents.
