ON THE ROLE OF SAFETY CULTURE IN RISK-INFORMED REGULATION

摘要

There is a widespread belief that safety culture is an important, contributor to safety of operations. The commonly accepted attributes of safety culture include good organizational communications, good organizational learning, and senior management commitment to safety. Safety culture may be particularly important in reducing latent errors in complex, well-defended systems. The role of regulatory bodies in fostering strong safety cultures remains unclear, and additional work is required to define the essential attributes of safety culture and to identify reliable performance indicators.
