Road accidents have alarmed Malaysian citizens all over the country. This study proves that a combination of human characteristics may contribute to the increase in the accident rate of motorcyclists on the road. Human characteristics such as riding anger, riding attitude, and lack of mindfulness may be the leading causes of motorcycle accidents. Malaysian road accident proneness research is still in its early phase. This study intends to investigate the relationship between riding anger, riding attitude, mindfulness, and road accident proneness. This study adopts a quantitative methodology employing a questionnaire distributed to visitors of authorised Yamaha dealers in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. The results of structural equation modelling reveal that riding anger, riding attitude, and mindfulness substantially impact road accident proneness. The explanation of the current research contains significant theoretical and practical significance, as well as suggestions for minimising the accident rate of road users.

Safety is an imperative element within organisations, including the manufacturing industry in Malaysia, and prioritising safety knowledge is essential for establishing a secure working environment. This paper provides a comprehensive review of current research on safety knowledge, specifically focusing on the influential factors, given that this predictor has received serious attention in the occupational safety literature in manufacturing organisations. The review discusses the concept of safety knowledge, factors influencing safety knowledge and gaps in the literature in previous studies. The final section of the paper offers a discussion on potential avenues for future research and concludes with insights pertinent to this study’s findings.
