Safety communication methods not only enhance working conditions but also have a positive impact on employee's behaviors and attitudes toward safety leading toward reduced incidents in the workplace environment. A stratified sampling method was followed to collect data in the petrochemical industry in Malaysia. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was utilized to analyze the hypothesized model, using data from 320 participants. The findings reveal that safety communication partially mediates the association between safety culture and safety performance. Further, safety culture was found to have a significant and positive effect on safety performance. This-study makes a significant theoretical contribution by providing empirical evidence on the direct and indirect relationship between safety culture and safety performance in the petrochemical industry.

What level of data reporting by these companies is needed to allow the assessment of environmental practices? To answer these questions, we evaluate the environmental practices of eight oil and gas companies against the Sustainability Reporting Guidelines issued in 2006 by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). Content analysis of their environmental reports 2009 indicates that they made reasonable efforts to disclose their environmental performance in accordance with the GRI Sustainability Reporting Guidelines. These guidelines appear to provide a robust and readily available tool for reporting comprehensive progress concerning all aspects of environmental activities. The voluntary adoption of the guidelines by a vast majority of the oil and gas companies increases transparency, credibility and comparability in sustainability reporting. In addition, five of the eight oil and gas companies disclosed that they had obtained third-party assurance of their sustainability reports.

Design/methodology/approach-This study used multivariate analysis to examine the moderating variable. Findings-GO has a moderating negative effect on the association between CG factors [e.g. board size, non-executive directors (NEDs)] and VD, which indicates that GO plays a negative role in the effectiveness of CG. The study also found that audit quality is not affected by the influence of GO, indicating that companies without GO are better than companies with GO in terms of applying the best practices of CG to provide sufficient and high-quality disclosure. Originality/value-This study has important implications for governments to be more effective in implementing the best practices of CG. Additionally, the findings could have implications for authority regulators, policy makers and shareholders to require effective implications for CG to reduce the effects of GO the implementation of best CG practices and the disclosure of quality information.
