**8. Limitations**

Like other research studies, this study has a few limitations. First, only a single sector/organization was selected for the study, which provided a limited sample size. Therefore, one should be cautious in generalizing the results of this study to other industries/sectors/organizations. Second, the companies with poor safety practices may have been reluctant to provide an original response to the questionnaire; therefore, there may be an influence from selection bias. Third, the survey itself was cross-sectional. A future longitudinal study could provide stronger support for causal relationships between safety climate and safety outcomes vis-a-vis the responsible leadership style used for the study.
