Incorporating Identity Safety into the Laboratory Safety Culture

Safety paradoxes and safety culture

This paper deals with four safety paradoxes: (1) Safety is defined and measured more by its absence than its presence. (2) Defences, barriers and safeguards not only protect a system, they can also cause its catastrophic breakdown. (3) Many organisations seek to limit the variability of human action, primarily to minimise error, but it is this same variability – in the form of timely adjustment...

On the relation between culture, safety culture and safety management

Safety can be considered an emergent phenomenon, making a systems view imperative if the aim is to evaluate or develop the safety of an entire sociotechnical system. This paper deals with one important component of the systems view – the relation between culture and management. Specifically, we will inspect how the concepts of culture and safety culture can be used in conjunction with the conce...
