Cultural Safety Research Survey by Operational Sustainability, LLC

What is a Safety Culture? Safety Culture refers to the ways safety issues are addressed in the workplace. It often reflects the attitudes, beliefs, perceptions and values that employees share in relation to safety. In other words, “the way we do safety around here.”
 
Cultural Safety Excellence helps ensure regulatory compliance, prevents human pain and suffering, lowers cost related to employee injuries and equipment failures, maintains your company’s reputation, customer relations and ultimately your right to operate. For companies governed by Process Safety Management, Cultural Safety provides a foundation for excellence in Process Safety.
 
This survey is focused on benchmarking organizations on their current safety culture.  People who take part in this survey will receive a free copy of the report we generate from the survey results.
