Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the factors affecting occupational safety performance in Vietnam's construction industry. The survey sample for the study consisted of Vietnamese managers and construction workers, and 255 suitable survey samples were selected from this group. The linear structural model is used to evaluate the data and assess the study hypotheses. The study's findings demonstrated that safety leadership practices and organisational identity had a substantial influence on the safety performance components, including personal protective equipment and safety participation. Psychological empowerment has a significant effect on employees' desire to take part in safety activities. The construction business in Vietnam, which has the greatest rate of occupational accidents of any profession, is the subject of this study, which is the first of its kind in that nation.
