Abstract

This paper presents the results of the analysis of the impact of the main safety climate elements on the overall occupational safety in textile companies in the Republic of Serbia. SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) methodology was applied to validate and test the proposed conceptual model of safety climate. A statistical analysis was performed using the software package SPSS 18.0 and Smart PLS 4. The previously developed model with seven hypotheses was tested on a sample of 267 respondents employed in 8 companies. The results of the empirical research confirm some of the hypotheses and point to the existence of a positive correlation between them. Within the conclusions of the research, special emphasis is placed on those safety climate factors where certain possibilities for improvement have been established and which represent the specificity of textile industry. Finally, the obtained results point to the significant fact that the formation of an adequate safety climate in textile companies can have a positive effect on the improvement of overall occupational safety in this sector.
