520 _aThis research explores the intricate relationship between employees' perceptions of the safety climate (SCP) and its consequential relationship on accident frequency (AF), absenteeism, and employee wellbeing. The investigation is situated within the context of Dangote Cement PLC, recognizing the significance of the cement industry's safety dynamics and the potential reverberations on employee well-being and organizational performance. The research employs a quantitative research design which involves the use of surveys to collect data on employees' perceptions of safety climate, accident frequency, absenteeism, stress levels, and musculoskeletal-related symptoms. The sample size was 104 from employees of Dangote Cement, and the questions delved into the nuanced aspects of safety practices, employee experiences, and the organizational safety culture at Dangote Cement PLC. The descriptive statistics, including means and standard deviations, provide an overview of the central tendencies and variabilities in the dataset . Findings reveal that employees generally perceive a moderately positive safety climate, signifying a favorable organizational safety culture. The research has 4 formulated hypotheses. Hypotheses 1a and 1b which states that safety climate perception will have a negative relationship with accident frequency and absenteeism was also rejected. And lastly, hypothesis 2a was the only accepted hypothesis and it states that musculoskeletal-related syndrome has a positive relationship with accident frequency, whereas hypothesis 2b was rejected. These outcomes contribute to the theoretical understanding of how employee well-being can have a significant relationship with safety climate and organizational outcomes. Regression analyses further underscore the complex dynamics at play. The research concludes with implications for practice, shedding light on how organizations, especially within the cement industry, can enhance safety practices, bolster employee well-being, and optimize organizational outcomes. Recommendations for future research directions are also outlined, emphasizing the need for continued exploration of these intricate relationships in diverse organizational contexts.
