Abstract
Workplace health and safety are important issues that should not be understated for employees especially who work on high-risk working environment, including ground handling activities. In recent years, much attention has been paid to the safety climate and its roles in improving employees- compliance behavior towards safety. However, there are still a limited number of studies regarding safety climate on ground handling activities. This study applied the concept of safety climate to understand how its dimensions impact the employees- safety compliance behavior. This research employed surveys as the main data collection method and involved 238 respondents from PT X who operated the ground handling equipment in the airport-s apron area. The researcher tested the hypothesis at the dimensions level using Smart PLS. The results showed that safety supervision, management commitment, and safety training were the predictors of safety compliance.
