Abstract
The concept of management involvement in safety refers to the extent to which top- and
middle-level managers become personally involved in critical safety activities within the
organisation. Occupational accidents and incidents are symptoms of low management
involvement in safety issues because most accidents could be prevented. The main
objectives of this study were to evaluate management involvement in safety issues (such
as safety values, occupational safety management, and employee well-being) and to
analyse differences in management involvement in the metal products industry in Guilan
Province, Iran, with regard to company size. A total of 714 respondents from 14
companies participated in the survey. The results showed that management involvement
in safety issues was not strong in the metal products industry in Guilan Province. A oneway ANOVA analysis was applied to understand employees' perspectives on management
involvement in safety. The results revealed that there was a significant difference
regarding management involvement in safety with respect to company size. Large
companies had stronger management involvement in safety compared to smaller
companies
