    Abstract
    This study focuses on the safety climate of the textile industry and the safety performance of lower-level employees in Pakistan. Safety knowledge has been identified as a key variable to moderating the relationship between safety performance and safety climate. Safety climate aspects, influencing safety performance are investigated by distributing questionnaires on which Likert scale items are used and questionnaires are distributed to lower-level employees in the Khurrianwala textile industry in Faisalabad. The descriptive and qualitative psychological approach is used. The collected data is analyzed using SPSS, tests of instrument validity; factor analysis, and inferential statistics are carried out. Simple and moderating multiple regression processes are utilized for inferring hypothesis testing. The study finds that there is a strong relationship between safety climate and safety performance. Also, the relationship between safety climate and safety performance is moderated by safety knowledge. This study contributes to decision making regarding the safety climate implementation and the role of safety knowledge with safety performance.
