Abstract: It is necessary for a construction company to ensure their good performance especially in safety and health in order to survive in the competitive construction industry. This is because the industry has a record in high rates of incidents, injuries and fatalities. The management team needs to begin by giving attention to health and safety management approach that can integrate between safety systems and people. However, to do this, an improvement to safety can be achieved if all project stakeholders change their belief, attitude, commitment and behaviour to create a good safety culture. This study aims to highlight the need for a positive safety culture towards better construction safety and health. Construction safety managers need to adapt more strategies which not only focus on improving physical working environment and employee’s safety knowledge but also on employees beliefs and attitude which will lead to safe behaviour and safety culture.
