A biztonsági kultúra szervezeti keretei = The organisational framework of safety culture

Abstract

The question of organisational safety is a notion existing at every business, though one difficult to conceive. While the application of various security systems is getting more and more essential and is becoming an inherent part of the organisational processes, the investigation of the human factor is an area less focused on within the possible interpretations of the “safety culture“. Recent cultural studies have pointed out a number of factors affecting organisational behaviour, however, the unique value priorities, competences, attitudes and implicit factors that enable one to effectively operate in practice any safety processes within organisations are less obvious. Work “maturity”, becoming aware of the importance of prevention, the perception of endangering factors, reducing risks, being responsive, continuous awareness, proper communication and the ability to stand firm in crises can be definitive elements in an organisation’s safety culture.
