In this context, safety culture plays a crucial role in shaping workers&#8217; behavior and improving overall safety performance. This paper aims to analyze the role of safety culture in preventing occupational accidents in construction through a conceptual and applied approach. A Safety Culture Index (SCI) is proposed as a quantitative model for assessing the level of safety culture within construction organizations. The model is based on the weighted aggregation of key factors, including safety leadership, training, communication, worker participation, risk perception, procedural compliance, and working conditions. Each factor is evaluated using a Likert scale, allowing for a structured and practical assessment framework. Furthermore, the study introduces a functional relationship between the Safety Culture Index and the probability of occupational accidents, modeled as an exponential function, highlighting a nonlinear inverse correlation. The results demonstrate that improvements in safety culture lead to significant reductions in accident probability, particularly at low and medium levels of safety maturity. The proposed model provides a practical tool for evaluating and monitoring safety culture in construction environments, supporting decision-making processes and enabling proactive risk management strategies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"class_list":["post-42","articol","type-articol","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/journals.utgjiu.ro\/JFD\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articol\/42","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/journals.utgjiu.ro\/JFD\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articol"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/journals.utgjiu.ro\/JFD\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/articol"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/journals.utgjiu.ro\/JFD\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
