The extant safety literature suggests that managerial Safety Leadership is vital to the success and maintenance of a behavioral safety process. The current paper explores the role of Managerial Safety Leadership behaviors in the success of a behavioral safety intervention in the Middle-East with 47,000 workers from multiple nationalities employed by fourteen sub-contractors and one main contractor. A quasi-experimental repeating ABABAB, within groups design was used. Measurement focused on managerial Safety Leadership and employee safety behaviors as well as Corrective Actions. Data was collected over 104 weeks. During this time, results show safety behavior improved by 30 percentage points from an average of 65% during baseline to an average of 95%. The site achieved 121 million man-hours free of lost-time injuries on the longest run. Stepwise multiple regression analyses indicated 86% of the variation in employee safety behavior was associated with senior, middle and front-line manager's Safety Leadership behaviors and the Corrective Action Rate. Approximately 38% of the variation in the Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) was associated with the Observation rate, Corrective Action Rate and Observers Records of managerial safety leaders (Visible Ongoing Support). The results strongly suggest manager's Safety Leadership influences the success of Behavioral Safety processes.
现有安全文献表明，管理层面的安全领导力对于行为安全流程的成功实施和持续推进至关重要。本文探讨了管理层面的安全领导行为在中东地区一项行为安全干预措施成功实施过程中的作用，该干预措施涉及由14个分包商和1个主承包商雇佣的47000名来自多个国家的工人。研究采用了准实验性重复ABABAB组内设计。测量重点为管理层面的安全领导力、员工安全行为以及纠正措施。数据收集历时104周。在此期间，结果显示安全行为从基线期平均65%提升了30个百分点，达到平均95%。该工地在最长的连续时间段内实现了1.21亿工时无误工伤害。逐步多元回归分析表明，员工安全行为变化的86%与高层、中层和一线管理人员的安全领导行为以及纠正措施率相关。总可记录事故率（TRIR）变化的约38%与观察率、纠正措施率以及管理安全领导者的观察员记录（可见持续支持）相关。结果有力地表明，管理者的安全领导力会影响行为安全流程的成功实施。
