The purpose of this paper to review some major studies to determine the relation between the safety climate and safety of an organization. Safety climate acts as a demonstrator of safety level in an organization. Improvement of the safety of an organization like by subjugating the risk-taking behavior of the employee, by improving the safety performance of worker, by scale down the underreporting of injuries and accidents only possible by positive safety climate. Most of the studies show that the positive safety climate is associated with the improved safety of an organization which at last long decreases the risk of workplace injuries and accidents.
