Abstract This study examines the relationship between accident investigation procedures and safety climate in construction companies, focusing on the moderating roles of management commitment, enforcement, communication, and employee involvement, compliance, and awareness. Grounded in transformational leadership, social exchange, and planned behavior theories, data were collected from 208 skilled employees in Accra using questionnaires. Statistical analysis via SPSS revealed a significant positive relationship between accident investigation procedures and safety climate (B = 0.469, p < 0.001). While management commitment positively influenced the safety climate, it did not moderate this relationship. However, management communication significantly moderated the relationship (B = -0.144, p = 0.013), and staff involvement (B = -0.123, p = 0.020) and employee compliance also had significant moderating effects. Employee awareness did not show a moderating effect, though its influence on safety outcomes remains important. The findings emphasize integrating effective management practices and employee involvement to optimize safety climate in construction.
