Measuring safety performance improves the organization's workplace to reduce the risk of accidents and obtain more robust safety procedures. Safety performance information reflects the effectiveness and the implementation of safety attitude. Developing a safety culture among employees is a vital element to ensure good safety performance. Safety culture is influenced by different variables such as beliefs, perceptions, attitudes, and values of employees. However, some empirical evidences in the literature relate safety culture with safety performance measurements. Safety performance is measured by a combination of leading and lagging indicators. This study uses these two indicators to make a comparison and description of both health and safety performance. This study review summarizes safety performance measurement processes and analyses the safety culture's predictable influence.
