Abstract |
A framework to measure safety culture maturity in the Brazilian oil and gas companies was formulated based on the model of Hudson. Following a review of the safety culture literature, a questionnaire was designed to measure five aspects of organisational safety indicative of five levels of cultural maturity. The questionnaire was completed by the safety managers of 23 petrochemical companies based in Camacari, Brazil, who were interviewed one month later. The reliability of the questionnaire was tested by asking the same questions in the interview and comparing the answers. The correlation coefficients between the questionnaire and interview scores demonstrated good reliability. The model of Hudson and the revised framework and questionnaire were found to be practical to use, making it possible to identify levels of safety culture maturity in the context of the Brazilian petrochemical industry. |
