Abstract: In order to grasp development status and frontier trends of safety climate research in China systematically, digital characteristics of 445 publications related to safety climate chosen from CNKI database from 1996 to 2019 were analyzed by bibliometric approach. The knowledge graph was drawn by using VOSviewer, and hot research areas and frontier in this field were explored. The results show that number of publications associated with safety climate research in China is increasing steadily whose development process can be divided into three stages. China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing), with a qualified research team, is the core research institution in this field. Electricity, coal mine, architecture, healthcare are main research domain of safety climate with popular topics concerning safety culture, safety behavior relationship, influence of safety performance, medical occupational climate perception, measurement method of safety climate and so on. The trend is that it is shifting from earlier topic of organizational safety culture construction to intervention mechanism which emphasizes internal factors of individuals.
