Embedding Safety into Business DNA: How to Assess and Strengthen a “Non-Measurable” Safety Culture to Enable Real Transformation
3:45 pm

Major industrial incidents repeatedly demonstrate that the prevailing safety culture is often the decisive success – or risk – factor. At the same time, studies show that organisations with a strong, mature safety culture are not only safer but also more profitable and resilient.

This presentation offers a practical approach to systematically assess the current state of your unique safety culture – even though culture is inherently “hard to measure” – and to translate this assessment into concrete strategies for sustainable cultural transformation.

Key Takeaways:

  • A special feature: During the session, participants will actively experience how safety culture can be “measured” in real time, just like in a live workshop
  • Theory & Concepts: Understand the foundations and key principles of an effective safety culture
  • Safety Culture State Review (SCSR): Learn how to apply the SCSR concept to evaluate and strengthen your safety culture using internal resources
