Communications of various kinds are used to enhance the general effectiveness of any motivational effort. The coverage and impact of communication will be higher in two-way communication and can lead to changes in behaviour. Regular communication about safety issues between managements, supervisors and workforce is an effective management practice to improve safety in workplace. Cohen (1977), Vredenburgh (2002), Cox and Cheyne (2000) and Mearns et al. (2003) included communication and feedback as a factor in their surveys using questionnaire among various category of workers and showed that safety performance is influenced by the level of communication in an organization. This study
also accepts safety communication and feedback as amanagement practice and is measured using items related to hazard reporting system, open door policy for safety issues, communication about safety goals and targets between managers and workers, and opportunity to discuss safety issues in meetings.
