The term safety culture can be traced back to the 1986 nuclear explosion at Chernobyl. Today, we define safety culture around the shared systems of beliefs, values and attitudes in the workplace. The way organisations manage people is also evolving. Causing a move away from the traditional applications of safety culture to keep up with the new theories in management.

“A safety culture is an organisational culture that places a high level of importance on safety beliefs, values and attitudes—and these are shared by the majority of people within the company or workplace. It can be characterised as ‘the way we do things around here’. A positive safety culture can result in improved workplace health and safety (WHS) and organisational performance” – Worksafe QLD
