The research was carried out at the Mus Sugar Factory in Mus city center between July 2015 and December 2016. The researchers' universe was formed by 321 workers in the Mus Sugar Factory. To collect data: "Questions about socio-demographic characteristics of workers", ‘The scale used to evaluate workers' behavior’ and ‘Security Climate Scale’ were used. The average points of the scale used to evaluate behavior of the workers was determined to be 122.04±21.840. The average points of workers' safety climate was found to be 53.87 ± 11.430. It was seen that the behavior of the workers was higher than the average of the total points, the gender, the family type did not affect the behavior (p>0.05), the norms of the chefs, the norms of the workmates and the security behavior affected the security climate (p<0.05).
