Previous studies have shown that forestry activities are associated with a high level of risk. This indicates that the absence of healthy workers and a safe workplace undeniably exposes companies and employees to significant economic risks. Despite the high rates of occupational safety and health (OSH) among forestry workers in Indonesia, studies on ergonomic factors remain limited. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the relationship between risk perception and the status of safety climate among workers and field managers, as well as to formulate alternative strategies for enhancing OSH protection. The NOSACQ-50 questionnaire and psychometric dimensions were used to measure safety climate and risk perception, respectively. The results showed that risk perception had a significant and positive effect on safety climate. The engagement of workers in OSH decision-making could lead to more accurate risk perceptions among field managers. These results were expected to provide a basis for evaluating and reducing workplace accidents and health disturbances among workers.
