| Abstract | "Safety culture refers to the norms, values, and practices shared by groups in relation to risk and safety. Within safety critical industries (e.g., nuclear energy, oil and gas, aviation), safety culture assessments with cross sectional surveys are used to identify trends that are promotive (e.g., shared beliefs on risk) and problematic (e.g., lack of incident reporting) for safety management. Through further investigation, opportunities for interorganizational learning are identified (e.g., sharing best practice) and used to improve safety culture. Research indicates that safety culture within an organization may be influenced by national cultural tendencies to avoid the anxiety caused by risky and ambiguous situations. This has implications for how the results of safety culture assessments are analyzed and interpreted"-- Provided by publisher. |
