Safety Culture''''s Contents, Causes and Working Mechanism
安全文化的内容、影响因素及作用机制

The research of safety culture indicates that contemporary safety management begins to focus on social control. Many researchers measured safety culture by measuring employees?attitudes and beliefs, which traditionally belonged to safety climate, but the results differed vastly. Others argued that safety culture refers to the basic assumptions underlying those organizational phenomena, which should be studied qualitatively. Such factors as national culture, production process, and organizational characteristics, impact safety culture, and the later influences safety performance through some individual variables. The authors argue that triangulation methods should be used to totally assess safety culture, and the intervention be put into practice.
