According to Taiwan Council of Labor Affairs (CLA)`s occupational accident statistics and annual reports, unsafe behavior contributed to 80% accidents in local manufacturing industries. Some programs are introduced by the government to bring down the accident rates. One such program aims to improve safety and environmental health through counseling for local manufacturing industries by conducting safety culture assessment using questionnaire that is derived from some literatures of safety culture. However, researchers also stated that the use of questionnaire to measure safety culture is not without limitations. This research hence will evaluate the questionnaire that is being used for its effectiveness, and to identify the influence of the workers background to safety climate based on the evaluated questionnaire results that were conducted among more than 700 local metal industries`workers. Confirmatory factor analysis, Structural Equation modeling and statistical analysis will be used to evaluate the questionnaire and identify the workers influence. A revised questionnaire and a model of safety culture with workers background influence are to be proposed.
