Building bridges between safety culture science and practice
article
In the pursuit of further reducing accidents, organizations are implementing safety culture improvement programs. While ideally this safety culture practice would draw upon scientific research for effective interventions or provide the data for further validation of the interventions, there is a noticeable gap in the feedback loop between science and practice. Through interviews with experts active in safety culture science and practice, this study highlights the differences in approaches to safety culture in science and practice. This paper seeks to draw attention to this gap and provides suggestions on how to bridge this gap to empower the safety culture domain towards developing evidence-based interventions.
