Summary
Besides establishing current benchmarks of safety climate in the mining industry, these results show the impact that organizational and personal safety climate factors can have on workers' health and safety performance. Specifically, this report provides some guidance to mines for improving organizational factors to help enhance the overall culture, regardless of the starting perspectives or points of view of individual miners. It is believed that organizations can start to address a select number of health and safety management system practices and, over time, scale their systems to include additional indicators.
