The increasing construction injury and fatality rate implies that conventional safety culture is unable to match the increasing requirement of construction industry safety. One promising approach is establishing resilience safety culture for the construction industry. For this aim, a hypothesized model was developed and 420 data for testing the model were collected by the present study. Structural equation modeling was employed to test the hypothesized model by fitting the data into the model. Finally, a model consisting of 10 dimensions with 13 relationships was established. A fuzzy analytic hierarchy process was employed to make a comparison between the proposed model and the other two prevalent models. It was concluded that the proposed model performs better in complying with real situations and considering sufficiently necessary dimensions and relationships. However, it is a bit hard to be easily and fully understood, which points to the direction of further work.
