Abstract: Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise (SME) contractors’ behaviour on site has contributed to their non-compliance, leading to several accidents. The paper examined the activities of contractors’ in Ghana to determine their safety policy. Data collected from administered questionnaires were analysed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) software with EQations (EQS) version 6.2. Findings from the SEM analysis confirmed that the Rio coefficient and the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient on the internal consistency were over 0.70 criteria for acceptability. The influence of contractors’ safety policy features on the Health and Safety (H&S) compliance was statistically significant. The study makes a significance contribution towards SME contractors’ safety policy. The study further provides a significant insight for improvement in H&S compliance among SME contractors safety policy.
