A safety culture is not a “static” entity. Cultures change and develop over time. Unless we understand this we will never continue to make progress in maintaining the type of culture we desire.
When looking at your safety culture, you must first determine “where you want to be.” How do you want safety to be perceived, valued and prioritized within your organization is the first question that must be asked. Once this is identified, an in-depth look at your culture as it exists today is critical.
