| Summary: | The aim of this study is to develop a model that incorporates Occupational Safety and Health Administration Practices (OSHAP), OHSAS 18001 efforts and Occupational Safety and Health Administration Performance (OSHAPM) in Malaysian automotive suppliers. Every company in manufacturing industry is compulsory to have a certification of safety to reduce accident or incident caused. However, before they have the certification they should implement OSHAP to decrease the management cost. A survey through questionnaire was conducted to determine the level of OSHAP implementation, OHSAS 18001 Efforts as well as OSHAPM measurement. 278 sets of questionnaire were successfully collected that brought to 69.50% response rate. Structural equation modelling technique was utilized to perform the required statistical analysis of the data survey. In order to test the reliability and validity of the instruments, reliability analysis, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were carried out. The results are shown that OHSAS 18001 Efforts did assist directly in improving OSHAPM when implemented with OSHAP. This research also provides a fundamental and direction for researchers in further research and practitioners to constantly improve OSHAPM through the implementation of OSHAP and OHSAS 18001 Efforts. |
