| description | Introduction: The safety of migrant construction workers is increasingly becoming a worldwide issue, and addressing this requires identifying the critical relationship between safety climate and safety performance. This research aimed to evaluate this relationship and to give proper attention to enhance the overall safety performance of construction workers. Methods: To assess the relationship between safety climate and safety performance of migrant construction workers, a cross-sectional study was conducted among 141 migrant construction workers, from the 2 industrial zones of Abu Dhabi. Sociodemographic characteristics, safety climate, and safety performance were assessed by using a specifically designed questionnaire for the construction industry. The collected data were analysed by SPSS 27.0 using descriptive statistics and χ2 test. Results: The investigation’s findings revealed a positive correlation between the safety climate and safety performance. However, the weakest correlation was found in the workers’ comprehension of safety rules and procedures. Conclusion: Construction workers with less experience and lower education, aged 30 years or below, with no dependents to support, with smoking and drinking habits needs to be focused on the augmentation of their safety performance through safety awareness, relevant safety education, training and with the implementation of safety rules and procedures. |
