EU-OSHA Publishes Culture Assessment

EU-OSHA has published an Occupational Safety and Health culture assessment as a concept for exploring how informal organizational aspects influence OSH in a positive or negative way. The report aims to convey up-to-date information on this complex topic in a straightforward and condensed form to bridge the gap between research and practice. It discusses the main approaches and methods to an organization’s safety culture, and gives an overview and selection of useful tools and techniques from the EU domain and abroad. The review is intended as an informative text for business managers and as a practical guide for OSH practitioners.
