I was reading through the Boeing Safety Assessment report and was so happy to see they used James Reason’s safety culture model, which consists of five components that collectively would cultivate a positive safety culture. The five (5) components include:
- Reporting Culture,
- Just Culture,
- Flexible Culture,
- Learning Culture, and
- Informed Culture

Boeing adopted these same five components in its Positive Safety Culture structure. The components are also used by numerous government, academic, and industry organizations, including NASA and the FAA. The Expert Panel considered each of the five safety culture components throughout its review.
