Achieving Safety Culture Excellence

Safety culture is a combination of the attitudes, values and perceptions that influence how something is actually done in the workplace, rather than how it should be done. Poor safety culture has contributed to many major incidents and personal injuries, and can be just as influential on safety outcomes as an organisation's safety management system itself.

Undertaking safety culture improvements shows your commitment to the wellbeing of your staff but also offers measurable benefits:

  • Accelerated safety culture improvement
  • Reduced accident and injury rates
  • Increased employee productivity
  • Better workplace morale and staff retention
  • Improved organisational reputation
  • Greater competitive edge
