“The safety culture of an organization is the product of individual and
group values, attitudes, perceptions, competencies and patterns of
behaviour that determine the commitment to, and the style and
proficiency of an organization’s health and safety management.
Organizations with a positive safety culture are characterized by
communications founded on mutual trust, by shared perceptions of the
importance of safety and by confidence in the efficacy of preventive
measures.”

Focus Areas7. Measuring Performance and Behaviour
While the audits and inspections are prescribed in the ISM Code, they do not necessarily tell us the perception of safety in the minds of the work force.
The ‘safety culture’ and ‘organisational culture’ can be measured with the help of questionnaires and surveys.
