Abstract

![CDATA[Resilient safety culture is characterised by continuous improvements of safety performance and the capability of creating foresight, recognising and anticipating the changing shape of safety risks in the complex sociotechnical systems. This study aims to conceptualise resilient safety culture of construction projects by integrating resilience engineering principles into the concept of safety culture. A correlation research design was adopted to achieve the research objectives and hypotheses. Data were collected using questionnaires with 78 completed building projects. The structural equation modelling technique was used to analyse the data collected. The results of this study (1) confirmed 24 measurable questions to assess resilient safety culture; (2) supported the hypothesized significant positive relationship between resilient safety culture and safety performance. The findings of this study imply that resilient safety culture can be used as a predictor of safety performance. It also provides a frame of practices to assess organisations’ capability of safety management in the construction environment.]]
