Safety Culture Theory

Safety Culture Theory refers to the shared values, beliefs, and practices within an organization that influence how safety is prioritized and managed. It shapes how employees perceive safety risks, report hazards, and adhere to procedures. A strong safety culture encourages open communication, accountability, and continuous improvement, ultimately reducing accidents and incidents. It’s about fostering an environment where safety is integrated into everyday decisions, rather than just a compliance requirement, so everyone actively participates in maintaining a safe workplace.
