Purpose: In this study, we examined the current status of companies' safety and health management activities and examined how the voluntary safety and health management activities conducted by companies to prevent serious accidents affect the creation of personal and organizational safety culture to prevent serious accidents.Methods: In this study, analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze the level of operation of safety and health management activities and the level of safety culture creation, and multiple regression analysis was conducted to determine whether managerial leadership and safety and health management activities have a significant effect on the creation of individual and organizational safety culture.Results: The findings of this study are as follows The larger the size of the firm, the higher the level of implementation of safety and health management activities, but there was no difference in safety culture creation based on the size of the firm. Finally, we found that managerial leadership had a significant impact on individual and organizational safety culture.Conclusion: In order for safety and health management activities to be implemented correctly, a firm commitment to safety and health from the management is required, and a safety culture must be created that encourages voluntary participation from individuals and organizations to ensure that management policies and objectives are properly implemented.
