SAFETY CONSULTING SERVICES THE FUTURE OF YOUR COMPANY IS IN THE STRUCTURE AND SUCCESS OF YOUR SAFETY PROCEDURES. Safety is not just about statistics and numbers, it is about the culture. According to Wikipedia the definition of Safety Culture is,

“

The attitude, beliefs, perceptions and values that employees share in relation to safety in the workplace.

”

It has been described by the phrase ‘it is the way we do things around here’. Not always is the way we do things considered to be the correct way.
