abstract="OBJECTIVE: The present study investigated the relationships safety climate had with driving behaviour and crash involvement. <br><br>METHODS: A total of 339 company employed truck drivers completed a questionnaire which measured their perceptions of safety climate, crash record, speed choice and aberrant driving behaviours (errors, lapses and violations). <br><br>RESULTS: Although there was no direct relationship between the drivers' perceptions of safety climate and crash involvement, safety climate was a significant predictor of engagement in risky driving behaviours, which were in turn predictive of crash involvement. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: This research shows that safety climate may offer an important starting point for interventions aimed at reducing risky driving behaviour and through this, less vehicle collisions.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
