Abstract

This study investigates the influence of Management Commitment, Safety Compliance, and Safety Awareness on Safety Culture at PT XYZ, a heavy equipment manufacturing company. The research aims to address the rising workplace accidents, as indicated by increasing LTIFR and TRIFR rates, by identifying factors critical to improving safety culture. Data were collected from 116 respondents using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The analysis confirmed that Management Commitment has the most significant effect on Safety Culture, with a path coefficient of 0.437 and a large effect size of 0.963, highlighting the importance of leadership and consistent safety policies. Safety Compliance, with a path coefficient of 0.375 and an effect size of 0.712, underscores the role of adherence to safety regulations in fostering accountability and reducing accidents. Safety Awareness, with a path coefficient of 0.333 and an effect size of 0.632, emphasizes the need for employee understanding of safety risks to encourage proactive behaviors. These findings underline the importance of integrating these variables into organizational strategies to enhance safety culture. The study concludes that fostering a robust safety culture requires collective efforts across all organizational levels, emphasizing management leadership, compliance enforcement, and safety awareness initiatives to ensure a safer and more productive workplace
