What’s The Best Measure Of Safety Culture? safetyawakenings.com
In my 40 year safety career, I’ve found that companies with the lowest turnover rates usually also have low accident rates and excellent safety cultures.

A True Safety Culture
Companies that create a true safety culture ensure that front-line employees are considered an extension of the safety team. They are given opportunities to learn about the safety principles that are important to their job function and invited to report unsafe conditions. Safety performance improves as front-line workers’ awareness increases and when incidents, observations and near misses, as well as and work-related injuries, are viewed and used as opportunities for learning.
... In these environments, employees are encouraged to report unsafe conditions so they can be corrected.
... Employees should be able to submit observations on unsafe conditions, people, processes, incidents and injuries in a non-punitive, systematic fashion.
...The real opportunity for employers, however, is to “memorialize” an incident or injury as part of the organization’s collective safety culture so it never happens again.
