Today, across the world, the safety and health of staff and the environment protection are more than necessary. This study aims to identify institutions and institutional demands, as well as their prioritization, to map the institutional network of the Sarcheshmeh Copper Complex to prevent accidents resulting from work and environmental hazards. 

This is an applied and developmental research. The statistical population was personnel of the Sarcheshmeh Copper Complex in 2018. The statistical sample was 115 experts, and the sampling method was purposeful. Interviews were performed for data collection, and the statistical methodology was social network analysis. Centrality indexes were used to prioritize institutional demands, institutions, and organizational affairs.

The safety, health, and environmental demands were grouped into 5 categories and 15 sub-categories. The top-priority institutions' demands were preventing environmental and natural resource degradation, removing air and soil pollution (0.290), as well as monitoring standard or regulation and safety management or occupational health to assure their observance (0.263). The main institutions in safety, health, and environmental demands were the Ministry of Cooperative Labor and Social Welfare (0.344), the Ministry of Health and Medical Education (0.306), Insurance Organizations (0.134), Department of Environment (0.120), and Department of Natural Resources (0.120).

To institutionalize safety and health and protect the environment, increasingly effective interaction with the institutions mentioned above is necessary. These interactionsare effective steps in an organization's legitimacy and survival.
