Why the Interest in Safety Cultures?
Nov 9th, 2008 by safetyculture
Greetings from Zurich, Switzerland. This week Terry Mathis and I discuss a recent question presented to us, “Why do you think companies are so interested in culture?” Terry and I sat down and recorded our thoughts. If you think about it, over the past 50 years we have developed any number of things that can improve safety. The challenge has not been using the new trick, product or process to improve safety. The problem has been sustainability. Everything has been a flash in the pan and so we now have this culture of program of the month. The reason we have gone from one program to another is not because they did not work, it is because they didn’t last. So what is culture? Culture is the ultimate suitability tool. Once it truly becomes culture it doesn’t go away. It lasts a long time; it becomes the way we truly do things around here…
