Safety Culture

A strong safety culture is an “atmosphere” within the organization that influences safe behaviour. It is more than an official program and must be ingrained in both the formal and informal activities of an organization. It is what happens when nobody is watching. It is when people are proud of their safety performance. It is when they have internalized the need to be safe. A strong safety culture must become a way of life for every employee at every level of the organization.
