dc.description.abstract |
The
systemic origins of many accidents have led to
heightened interest is the way organizations identify
and
manage risks. The term organizational safety
culture' has become common within the literature
and seeks to
explain the fact that organizations
their
willingness and ability to conduct safe
operations. The activities and stuctures which are
thought to represent a °good° safety culture are well
documented. However, a model was lacking which
would
explain the failure of many organizations to
develop a organizational culture which would
support safety initiatives.
Ti thesis seeks to l that
gap. A model which
aimed to enumerate the factors which
impact upon
a
organizations ability to develop a positive safety
culture is
presented and tested. A open systems
perspective is the development of the model
allowed this work to build
upon previous treatments
of
safety culture by incorporating factors within the
operating environment. The application of the
model is discussed. |
