ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses a topic that is generally acknowledged to be central to workplace health and safety — attitudes and their link with behavior. After evaluating the nature of attitudes, including their components, dimensions, and measurement, attention turns to attitudes toward safety and risk, and theories about the link between attitudes and behavior. Attitude and behavior change is next discussed incorporating a number of case examples of attitude and behavior change in respect of safety. The final substantive topic is the concept of safety climate.
