Abstract

Safety culture is an attitude of the community towards risk, threats and security and the values that are considered important. A high safety culture is linked to the high value of human health and life, and keeping the boundary between the necessary risks that are inherent in life and development and the provision of safety and protection against threats.

More and more companies are recognizing that investing only in the safety of machinery and technical equipment at a certain level of organization development is already insufficient. Building a safety culture based on shaping safe behaviors is widely propagated, also in Poland. However, the new problem arises - the lack of consistency in the implementation of the operational objectives in the context of behavioral programs.
