This post contains a series of questions, that members of an organization might use – from the boardroom to the shop floor – to help them consider their personal contributions to safety culture. The questions are not intended to be exhaustive. We encourage operating organizations to use these questions as a basis for discussion and to consider developing them further as “prompts” that might be made available to encourage everyone in the organization to review critically their actions and behaviour and to consider how they personally can contribute to enhancing safety. This process can itself be a useful contributor to improving a safety culture. It is also recommended that regulatory bodies establish a parallel set of questions for use in their own organizations. Included in this set would be questions that relate to the potential for the regulator to influence the safety culture of the operating organization, both positively and negatively.
