Abstract: This research aims to assess and enhance the construction safety climate by analyzing workers' perceptions and attitudes toward safety management and adherence to protocols. The study focuses on riverbank protection dams as the case study. The study uses survey data to explore the fundamental beliefs of a safety climate, including commitment to safety training, equipment use, and enforcement of managerial safety policies. One major finding is that many workers believe accidents are inevitable, which may show a resigned attitude that challenges the development of a proactive safety climate. Additionally, the perception of accident investigations as punitive rather than as opportunities for learning highlights a cultural barrier in safety advancement. Despite these challenges, the paper reveals a strong consensus among workers that adherence to safety protocols does not hinder productivity, suggesting a safety climate that aligns well with operational efficiency. Chi-square analysis indicates a uniform safety climate across worker demographics, affirming the successful dissemination of safety training and policy. However, a need remains to transform cultural perceptions around accident inevitability and enhance the constructive use of accident investigations. Drawing attention to the profound impact of safety climate, this study emphasizes the continuous necessity for clear policies, effective training, and regular inspections to foster and maintain a robust safety climate in high-risk work environments.
