What is safety culture and how will it impact my company?

Safety cultures consist of shared beliefs, practices, and attitudes that exist at an establishment. In a strong safety culture, everyone feels responsible for the safety and pursues it on a daily basis. A company with a strong safety culture typically experiences few at-risk behaviors; consequently, they also experience low accident rates, low turnover, low absenteeism, and high productivity. Employer and employee commitment are hallmarks of a true safety culture where safety is an integral part of daily operations.
