Measuring Safety Culture

A company’s safety culture is a collective set of attitudes, values, norms, beliefs, and practices that its employees and contractors share with respect to workplace safety.

Understanding the perceptions of safety across a company’s operation is a crucial step to proactively mitigate risks and prioritize actions. Results from a survey conducted by ISN show 75% of decision makers at Hiring Client companies believe improving safety culture is an effective approach to reducing serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs).

A robust safety culture permeates every level of a company, fostering an environment where safety is not merely a set of rules but an integral aspect of the company’s ethos. It involves transparent communication, continuous improvement, and a proactive mindset toward identifying and addressing potential hazards.
