Description

Safety culture is one of the more important areas of focus for safety improvement in the transportation industry. The development and implementation of a standard metric of safety culture is needed. Such a metric would enable before and after comparisons for safety interventions as well as normative comparisons of organizations to each other. This research demonstrates the results of such safety measures and how the results can be used to better manage our organizations and culture.
