Abstract

This paper thoroughly explores the intricate relationship between safety culture and safety performance within the mining industry. Leveraging data collected from 35 mining companies over a two - year period, statistical analyses using SPSS and R are employed to dissect the impact of various components of safety culture on accident rates and other safety - related outcomes. The study reveals that a robust safety culture, characterized by strong management commitment, high employee engagement, and effective safety communication, is significantly associated with lower accident rates and enhanced overall safety performance. These findings offer valuable guidance for mining companies seeking to cultivate a safety - centric culture and improve their safety management strategies.
