ABSTRACT

Building a strong safety culture takes consistent and sustained organizational effort, but once established it is a key determinant in the organization’s safety success and overall performance. In other words, the journey toward SHE excellence involves a dramatic transformation of an organization’s culture that not only improves safety, health, and environmental performance, but also the overall organizational functioning. A  well-developed safety culture is a determining factor in the safety performance of a wide variety of organizations from the petrochemical industry to healthcare.4
