Abstract | This study examines the integration of safety management systems (SMS) and business strategy to improve safety performance in the construction industry in the Middle East. This study employs a deductive pragmatic approach to investigate the correlation between SMS and business strategies and their influence on safety outcomes. This study explores numerous factors that contribute to the successful alignment of the safety management system and business strategy. These factors encompass strategic initiatives, business risk management, strategic objectives, and strategic key performance indicators. This study highlights the significance of integrating SMS into business strategy to enhance safety outcomes, operational excellence, and overall organizational performance. Overcoming challenges such as resistance to change, insufficient safety awareness, and limited resources are essential for achieving optimal alignment. Organizations should consider implementing safety management systems (SMS) in accordance with their business strategies. It is important to effectively integrate safety objectives at all levels of the organization and align safety risk management with business risks. Additionally, organizations should prioritize worker safety in their strategic initiatives. Safety regulation adherence is crucial. This study enhances existing knowledge on safety management in the construction industry, highlighting the significance of aligning it with business strategy. |
