Work. Working Class Problem: This study is to determine the influence of the five facets of Work Safety Scale (WSS) on compliance with safety behaviour among the dog handlers of a law enforcement agencies in Malaysia. The study was done as there were only limited studies on safety being done in dog handling area. Dog handling consists of different occupations are exposed to variety of hazards, injurys and diseases.

All the independent variables then will be measured on the perception of workplace safety towards the compliance of safety behaviour as the determinants (dependent variable). Results: The results presented that there was only co-woker safety significantly correlated at the 0.05 level (2-tailed) to the compliance safety behavior. The average score for this correlation is -.198* (2-tailed). Meanwhile the other factors of work safety namely co-worker safety, supervisor safety, management safety practices and safety programme are correlated significantly at the level of 0.01 (2-tailed) to the compliance safety behavior. The supervisor safety scores at -.132 (2-tailed), management safety behavior scores at -.271** (2-tailed) and safety programme scores at -.128 (2-tailed). This result explained that perceptions on co-worker safety, supervisory safety, were strongly connected to compliance of safety behaviour. 2010-09 Thesis https://etd.uum.edu.my/2529/ https://etd.uum.edu.my/2529/1/Vignesvaran_Velautham.pdf application/pdf eng validuser http://lintas.uum.edu.my:8080/elmu/index.jsp?module=webopac-l&action=fullDisplayRetriever.jsp&szMaterialNo=0000768323 masters masters Universiti Utara Malaysia
