| Mine working environment has been considered one of the most high risk environments. 85 per cent of the work accidents are attributable to unsafe working conditions. 85 to 95 per cent of these accidents are attributed to attitudes, culture and behaviour. The safety climate is a multi-faceted construct which shows the individuals’ attitudes towards and priority they set upon the safety in working environment. Measuring safety climate provides a glimpse of safety condition in an organization in a given time. The present research is an attempt to study safety climate and its structural aspects in Gol gohar mine complex in Sirjan, Iran. The cross-sectional and descriptive-analytical research has been carried out during the winter of 2012on 534 workers in the Sirjan Gol Gol gohar mining and industrial company as subjects. The safety climate questionnaire has been used to measure the safety climate. The findings indicate that production pressure with the score of 5.38 was the least effective factor, and training with the score of 7.70 was the most effective factor. The total score of safety climate has been calculated in a 1 to10 scale for the 6.35 score location. The safety climate of the mine has been shown to be moderate. |
