Abstract
The construction industry represents a significant share of the economy for any country. Nevertheless, it is considered a dangerous industry, where the level of injuries and deaths is generally high compared to other industries. As a result, it becomes important to maintain adequate levels of safety performance on construction sites, and this can be promoted by raising the safety climate amongst the construction industry personnel. This research study aimed to identifying the factors influencing the safety climate in the construction industry. A literature review was the main method of data collection, and only journals included on the Web of Science platform were considered in the process of identifying key factors. As a result, 18 factors were identified and grouped into management related safety climate factors, and worker-related safety climate factors. In conclusion, it was found that the organizationâs management team had the greatest influence on safety climate; thus, they are considered accountable for safety measures as a result.
