| Summary: | Safety compliance behaviour among maintenance workers in public hospitals is a critical aspect that directly impacts workplace safety. To enhance safety compliance behaviour among maintenance workers, addressing maintenance procedures, creating a positive safety atmosphere, providing comprehensive training, and prioritizing effective management behaviours are all essential. Management commitment, safety training, and avenues for safety communication and feedback are vital for ensuring the well-being of maintenance personnel and promoting overall workplace safety within healthcare facilities. This study aims to identify the factors influencing safety compliance behaviour among maintenance workers and develop effective strategies for preventing occupational accidents. The study focused on independent variables representing safety management practices, including management commitment, safety training, and safetycommunication and feedback, with safety compliance behaviour as the dependent variable. This quantitative study was conducted among 108 respondents consisting of maintenance workers of various categories. Data was collected using a questionnaire containing 38 items on a 5-point Likert scale and analyses with SPSS software version 25. The study's findings revealed that management commitment, safety training, and safety communication and feedback did not have positive relationship with maintenance workers' safety compliance behavior. These results highlight the importance of re-evaluating current safety strategies and interventions in organisations, emphasizing the need to adapt initiatives to better align with the specific needs and dynamics of maintenance workers. |
