The Relationship Between Work Safety Scale (WSS) with Safety Performance and Safety Behavior as Mediator: A Study at Sarawak’s Plantation Industry

While numerous variables contribute to workplace accidents, safety behaviours have received little attention in occupational safety research, despite the fact that unsafe behaviours were attributed for almost all reported accident occurrences in the industries. This is likely due to the difficulty o...
