| Abstract |
Safety performance is directly influenced by corporate culture. Safety professionals need to be aware of the company's philosophy or culture to build up a strong safety programme. Several organizational factors influence safety performance: participation in decision-making, importance given to safety in the organization, responsible attitudes towards safety, good communication, management support, employees' involvement, high morale and commitment to work. It is also important that a common safety language be used in the company. |
