Posted By Duncan Brown Hi Terry The CBI (tel.0207 379 7400) used to publish an excellent guide "Developing A Safety Culture" which was the subject of our first training video "The Secret Siphon - Developing A Safety Culture" so it's probably worth giving them a call. Thanks Duncan

Posted By Stuart Bower Terry, Have a look at the article in the March Practitioner by Andy Shaw. Some interesting thoughts on 'safety cultures'. Personally, I don't think he's a million miles away from the truth. Stuart

Posted By Barry Wilkes One place to start is to look at "Study group on human factors - First report on training and related matters" by Advisory Committee on Safety of Nuclear Installations (HSE ISBN 0 11 885543 3) It is better that it sounds. A bit old now but good. Barry

Posted By David Brede It is probably a bit late for you now but I did my MBA dissertation on safety and the cultural aspect was one of the key themes.

Posted By Rciahrd Byrne Terry, I have just finished my undergraduate research project on the effective measurement of safety culture. I used quite a few research articles and authorative sources for my literature review and discussion, but some good starting places would be: The entire 12th volume (1998) of the journal Work & Stress is excellent (completely devoted to safety culture). As too is the paper by FW Guldenmund in Safety Sciences (volume 34, pg. 215-257) entitled The nature of safety culutre: A review of theory and research. You could also try a paper by AR Hale in the same journal called 'Culture's confusions' (pg 1-14). Finally the HSC Advisory Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (1993) Organising for Safety: Third Report. London: HMSO. It is completely on safety culutre and gives an excellent Safety Culture 'prompt list'. I know that the journal articles may be hard to get hold of but your University should be able to get hold of them. GOOD LUCK!! Richard
