Sustainable safety practices and hazard management in the oil and gas industry: an HSE perspective.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Despite advancements in operational technologies, the oil and gas (O&G) industry continues to face safety lapses due to persistent challenges in occupational health and safety management (OHSM), hazard identification and risk assessment (HIRA), and safety communication (SC). This study aims to examine how OHSM, HIRA, and SC influence safety knowledge (SK) and safety performance (SP), with safety culture (SCULT) mediating these relationships. A novel framework, integrating technical, procedural, and cultural dimensions is proposed and empirically tested. Grounded in social exchange theory (SET), this framework is distinct in its dual focus on system-level safety practices and cultural mechanisms in high-risk environments. Malaysia's downstream O&G sector was chosen due to its operational complexity, multicultural workforce, and elevated accident rates, making it a critical context for evaluating sustainable safety interventions. Data was collected from 350 employees from the operational department using stratified sampling across two major national oil companies PGB and MLNG. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed to validate the model, demonstrating strong reliability and predictive relevance (SRMR = 0.064, AVE > 0.5). Notably, SC exhibited weak direct effects on SK and SP, but strong indirect effects via SCULT, suggesting that communication-based safety interventions are only effective when trust and cultural alignment are present. Behavioral outcomes such as proactive safety participation and cognitive outcomes such as hazard recognition were both positively influenced by a strong SCULT. This research offers practical strategies for industry stakeholders, including the adoption of a near-miss reporting system, behavior-based safety (BBS) training programs, and culturally adaptive communication audits. Policymakers are encouraged to embed cultural indicators within national safety audit frameworks and promote leadership accountability across organizational levels. The findings emphasize that achieving sustainable safety outcomes require more than structural compliance with culturally integrated safety systems.
