What is a safety culture?

A safety culture is a commitment that the organisation places a high level of importance on safety values and attitudes throughout the business.

To achieve this culture
There has to be a management commitment and that commitment must be headed- up by the most Senior Directors within the organisation.
It includes employee involvement, backed up by on-going training and learning.
Easy to understand communication between all management and employees.
Compliance with the Company rules and safe systems and procedures.
