An effective safety culture is vital for developing and implementing a successful safety management system. Preventing major accidents requires everyone to follow safety practices and intervene when unsafe behaviors are observed. This course emphasizes personal responsibility and engagement to improve safety culture. Participants will learn the impact of safety culture, methods to establish improvement processes, ways to foster behavioral change, assess organizational safety culture, and explore theories from Taylor, Herzberg, Vroom, Geller, and Maslow.
