ABSTRACT
The findings from the structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis showed that the factors of safe act and working condition, government support, contractor's safety policy, contractor's organisational culture, and adherence to safety regulations were found to have a significant influence in predicting the health and safety compliance of small to medium-sized construction companies. However, the adherence to state policy feature had a weak (indirect) influence in predicting health and safety compliance. Notwithstanding, the covariation with the other exogenous construct to determine health and safety compliance was found to be statistically significant. The reaction of workers to safe condition enables employers to have an idea on how workers relate to their work environment. Findings suggest that when reaction of workers to safe condition is incorporated into construction projects, the outcomes are more likely to suit surrounding circumstances, and this will eventually lead to health and safety compliance.
