The goals of the present study are to analyze the relations between organizational climate and safety climate, and its dimensions. The results, through the ICOS, in a sample of 98 subjects (in a company of services), show significant correlations between organizational climate and safety climate. One evidence, therefore, is that the safety climate can be a good proactive strategy for the improvement of occupational safety. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
