In the first installment of this series, the initial assessment of NASA’s culture and safety climate was described and the agency-wide results presented (see ISHN May 2005). In general, the assessment found a strong culture present at NASA, although findings indicated that the agency had not yet achieved its stated values.
The information gained from the assessment was used to implement pilot culture-enhancement initiatives at three NASA Centers (Glenn Research Center, Stennis Space Center, and two directorates of Johnson Space Center). A six-month evaluation would take place in these locations to determine progress.
