The essentials of safety culture

The term safety culture refers to a set of practices and actions that are shared within an organization, and which enable the company to manage its most significant risks. It is not decreed – instead, it is created and tested, on a daily basis, through words and actions.

Each company, and each sector is exposed to different types of risks, and faces different challenges, such as quality, finance, the market, and safety, of course! The question is, what priority does the organization give to safety compared to all of these other challenges. A high-performance safety culture consists in giving more weight to safety in trade-offs.
