Safety culture refers to the ways that safety issues are addressed in a workplace. It often reflects the attitudes, beliefs, perceptions and values that employees share in relation to safety..In other words, the way we do safety around here..owever we find that the culture and style of management is even more significant, for example a natural, unconscious bias for production over safety, or a tendency to focussing on the short-term and being highly reactive.. Since the 1980s there has been a large amount of research into safety culture.
