Carrots and sticks?
Or are you looking for something to enable you to measure that culture?

Nurturing a "Safety Culture" within your business is a process of evolution and development, there is no easy or quick way of getting there. You have to alter peoples minds and attitudes towards safety and that is the hardest of all tasks, the only way to get there is through hard work, good communication, management buy in and sorcery.

We have just started on a project to do just that. we are using the HSL Safety climate tool and we will use that to get our 'base reading'. Over the next year we will be running a number of initiatives to develop a more proactive H&S culture and then we will run the tool again to see if this has had any effect.

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm looking to measure various observations and comments produced from the shop floor and my aim is to produce an accurate result to put to the monthly board.
Is there anything out there apart from the Safety Climate tool.
Open to comments or assistance please

I've seen (been subject to) these climate tools for a good 20 years now, many delivered by outside consultants at considerable expense.
I know this is highly cynical but you get 2 responses every time:
The workforce say management does not provide adequate resources for H&S and doesn't mean it when they say it number one priority
The management say there would be no H&S problems if the workforce did as they were told.

While your overall approach is a sound one: ' measure various observations and comments produced from the shop floor and my aim is to produce an accurate result to put to the monthly board', monthly stocktaking may generate a routine without the desired effect.
A well-designed measure would involve selecting dimensions which managers and employees can use to agree next-step actions within their control, on a group and individual level. As a survey measures psychological variables, good design - but only good design - can be far, far more incisive and effective than the example cited by walker.
'Safety Culture. Assessing and Changing the Behaviour of Organisations.' J B Taylor, Gower, 2010 takes the classic model of organisational culture devised by Edgar Schein and applies it to safety.
