Create a positive safety culture Article by Dr. Yashoda Tammineni HOD, HSE Department at NIFS

Safety Culture is the way safety is perceived, organized and valued in an organization. Safety culture is the end result of combined individual and group efforts towards an organization’s health and safety program.  It reflects the safety performance at all levels in the organization. It can be characterized as “the way we do things when no one is watching".

Safety Culture is about people and how they work together. Safety should become a part of everyday values and action, and not be seen as an ‘extra task’.

For a good safety-culture, the whole organization needs to be committed to safety-beliefs, values and mindsets that are reflected in all levels and departments within the organization.  The safety culture of an organization can make a remarkable contribution to changing employee attitudes and behaviors in relation to health and safety in the workplace and has a significant impact on reducing the number of incidents and injuries in the workplace.
