What is a Safety Culture?

“Safety Culture" includes the ways in which health & safety issues are addressed in the workplace.

Safety Culture includes attitudes, beliefs, perceptions & values that employees hold or believe regarding health & safety in the workplace.

Very simply put, it is "the way we do things here."

What to Consider

Ideally, all staff members would work together to create a Safety Culture. However, there are many things that may prevent this from happening. These include;

  • Existing beliefs currently held by all staff
  • Employee & Management attitudes towards workplace safety
  • Existing company policies, procedures & on-site rules
  • Workplace pressures
  • Attitudes towards fixing unsafe situations
  • Employee Training - Some or None
  • Staff involvement in wanting to create a Safety Culture
  • Motivation Levels
  • Committment to development of a safer & healthier workplace for all staff
Why not organise your staff to attend a Behavioural Safety Awareness Training Course with Annbrook Safety Training.
