Abstract

Safety knowledge plays an important role in improving safety performance in a company. This must be supported by a company safety climate that promotes workplace safety. This study examines the role of safety knowledge as a mediating variable in the influence of safety climate on employee safety performance. The population for this study consists of employees in the production division of a company that manufactures steel and iron. The sample size is 76 employees selected randomly by the researcher. The data analysis technique used in this study was mediation analysis using the JASP application version 0.19.1. The results of this study indicate that safety knowledge can act as a mediating variable because it plays an important role in changing behavior and improving employee safety performance. The knowledge acquired by employees is processed and transformed into behavior that prioritizes safety at work.
