The escalation in workplace accident incidences involving assistant medical officers has a consistent rise year by year. Safety behavior plays the crucial rules for accident prevention programs at the workplace. Safety management practices indirectly shape organizational safety behaviors among the employees. This study aims to investigate the influence of safety management practices towards safety behaviors. A self-administered questionnaire was applied for data collection which involved 170 respondents among assistant medical officers at Melaka Hospital. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 26 which subjected toward preliminary and inferential analysis. Correlation analysis revealed that safety management practices have strong correlate (r=0.766) while regression analysis shows (r2=0.587) which means 58.7% safety behavior were explained by safety management practices. Thus, to enhance safety behavior during safety training, the element of safety management practices needs to be taken into account during activities development.
