Modeling the impact of safety climate on process safety in a modern process industry: The case of the UAE’s oil-refining industry

This study examines the psychometric properties of process safety and models the relationships between top management commitment to safety (Model 1), top management safety practices (Model 2), and supervisory safety behavior (Model 3). It is hypothesized that these determinants are positively relate...
