Abstract
This study explored occupational health and safety among fuel pump attendants at selected oil and gas service stations in
Accra, Ghana. Respondents completed a questionnaire battery on proactive personality, safety climate perceptions, safety
compliance, and safety participation. Regression models showed that safety climate perceptions and proactive personality
each had significant positive main effects on safety compliance and safety participation. Moreover, we found that the positive
relationship between safety climate perceptions and safety compliance, and between safety climate perceptions and safety
participation was weaker when proactivity was high than when it was low. The theoretical and managerial implications of the
results are discussed.
