Safety Culture
Wikipedia
Safety culture is a term used to describe the way in which safety is managed in the workplace, and often reflects "the attitudes, beliefs, perceptions and values that employees share in relation to safety" (Cox and Cox, 1991).
Safety Culture
Safety Culture is…”the product of the individual and group values, attitudes, competencies and patterns of behavior that determine the commitment to, and the style and proficiency of, an organization's health and safety programs.”
Safety Culture: A Review of the Literature (UK)
Safety Culture
• EHS Today-America’s Safest Companies“Our culture is to expect 100% engagement from all
associates in our safety programs, which includes not
only participation but also leadership.”
“Our culture of safety innovation and continual
improvement has fostered countless, positive safety
changes with profound impact on our safety performance.”
“How many companies can say that their CEO
has reviewed every single recordable injury AND serious near miss?
We can!”
“Our 76% improvement in recordable injuries and external recognitions are a result of our strong safety culture, and they
demonstrate how ingrained safety is in why and how we do
business.”
“Safety, or EHS, is who we are…It’s a core value that is integrated into all
business processes and functions.”
