Description
Summary:The purpose of this study is to examine whether the five critical factors of WSS dimensions on compliance to safety behavior of the Malaysian firefighter's personnel. The WSS measures five-factor distinct constructs: (a) job safety, (b) coworker safety, (c) supervisor safety, (d) management safety practices, and (e) safety program and policies. The objective of this research is to examine the relationship between job safety and compliance with safety behavior among Malaysian Firefighters in relation to safety. All those independent variables were measured on the perception of workplace safety towards the compliance of safety behavior as the determinants among I 03 firefighters of various Fire Stations under Zone 5 Selangor, Malaysia. The questionnaires for the quantitative research conduct were developed from previous research by Hayes (1998). Results also suggest that safety program and policies can enhance and refine the Malaysia firefighters safety culture by focusing especially on the variables mentioned thereby increasing and strengthening safety culture and firefighter's safety behavior thereby reducing injuries and accidents.
