4. Explain the term ‘ Safety Culture’ Safety culture has been described as the product of the values, attitude and behaviors of employees and employers in connection with workplace Safety.

(2008: 1902-1918) Health and Safety culture can be described as a set of beliefs, norms, attitudes, social and technical practise that are concerned with minimising the exposure of individuals within and beyond an organisation to conditions considered dangerous or injurious. H&S culture is a subset of organisational culture that affects members’ attitude and behaviour in relation to the ongoing H&S performance of an organisation.
