    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;Introduction: Construction industry has a unique nature and considered as a&lt;br&gt;
dangerous industry. Due to its characteristics, the promotion of safety management&lt;br&gt;
and maintaining safe work environment is difficult and inadequate. Cost of injury and&lt;br&gt;
accident incurred is higher in developing country like Ethiopia. Promoting and&lt;br&gt;
maintaining safety culture is a new way of decreasing workplace accidents and&lt;br&gt;
creating conducive environment in construction sector.&lt;br&gt;
Objective: to assess the level of safety culture and factors associated with it in X&lt;br&gt;
Construction Company, Ethiopia, 2014.&lt;br&gt;
Methods: An Institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted. The sample&lt;br&gt;
size of the study was 422 in X construction workers with a response rate of 95%.&lt;br&gt;
The data was collected by using interview administered NOSACQ-50 questionnaire&lt;br&gt;
and review of records of accident report, OHS company documents and walk&lt;br&gt;
through survey using workplace observation checklist to support the Questionnaire.&lt;br&gt;
The score of mean above 2.5 was considered as good safety culture and below the&lt;br&gt;
mean as poor safety culture; as well the level of safety culture of the company was&lt;br&gt;
indicated using mean score. Both Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression&lt;br&gt;
analysis were used to determine the degree of association by using odds ratio with&lt;br&gt;
95% CI. ANOVA was also used to calculate the mean differences of X construction&lt;br&gt;
company sites&lt;/p&gt;</description>
