Not only must the interrelationship between the elements be considered but the role of management in establishing the policies, procedures and tools to foster those elements and committing to their success. With these, an organisation can achieve a strong, positive safety culture.

Element Description Explanation

Just Culture An atmosphere of trust in which An informed culture relies on a reporting culture which in turn people are encouraged for relies on a Just Culture. All employees must clearly understand providing essential safety-related and recognise that it is unacceptable to punish all errors and information, but in which they unsafe acts regardless of their origins and circumstances are also clear about where the while it is equally unacceptable to give blanket immunity line must be drawn between from sanctions to all actions that could, or did, contribute acceptable and unacceptable to organisational accidents. A prerequisite for engineering a behaviour. just culture is an agreed set of principles for drawing the line between acceptable and unacceptable actions.

Reporting Managers and operational The issue is not whether the organisation has a reporting Culture personnel freely share critical system; it is whether, as a matter of practice, errors, near safety information without the misses, and risks are reported. A reporting culture threat of punitive action. depends, in turn, on how the organisation handles blame and punishment. If blame is the routine response to error, then reports will not be forthcoming. If, on the other hand, blame is reserved for truly egregious behaviour, involving recklessness or malice, reporting in general will not be discouraged. Rather than a blanket no-blame approach, what is required, Reason argues, is a just culture.

Risk Individuals at all organisational It has been found that misperceptions of the seriousness of Perception levels need to have the same risks occur frequently at all levels in an organisation (HSC, perceptions and judgments of 1993). The perception of risk or people’s judgments of the seriousness of risks, as these riskiness is influenced by different attributes of hazards, e.g. perceptions affect risk behaviour controllable-uncontrollable. Misjudgements of risks may and appropriate decisions with cause risk behaviour and inappropriate decisions with regard regard to safety issues. to safety measures and ordinary occupational accidents as well as large-scale accidents (Rundmo, T., 1997.

Ignorance or behaviour with procedures, rules and deliberate violations to safety rules and procedures are often regulations, but also to aspects due to employee attitudes towards risk and safety (HSC, such as coaching, recognising, 1993).

As Mao Tse Tung once said, “Peoples attitudes and opinions have been formed over the decades of life and cannot be changed by having a few meetings or giving a few lectures”. And finally, a last thought from James Reason: If you are convinced that your organisation has a good safety culture, you are almost certainly mistaken ... a safety culture is something that is striven for but rarely attained. The virtue – and the reward – lies in the struggle rather than the outcome. CANSO Members
