One of the essential requirements of a productive presentation about safety culture in an organisation is access to reliable evidence about the quality of commitment of senior management.
Unless you have this, you are - at best - taking an avoidable risk to your own reputation.
Far better to study one of the leading writers on safety culture - such as Scott Geller or Dominic Cooper - and use their key concepts to highlight the relevant issues that only an insider to Newmor has access to. You can then reasonably invite comments on a draft of what you have written.
The basic concepts of safety culture are simple. The complications arise in the translation to specific situations - and specific leaders. Otherwise, moneymakers would have simply produced a computer program claiming the '100% reliable and valid' formula for a safety culture.

Better to refer " THE PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH AND SAFETY AT WORK " by Mr.Allan St John Holt

Unfortunately I don't have a ready prepared one, but I'm sure someone has.
You haven't said what the presentation is for, so it is a little difficult to guess - are you trying to secure management comittment to a drive to improve safety culture?
Think about covering the 4 c's from HSG65 (Competence, control, co-operation and communication), features of a positive culture (e.g. no blame culture, accidents investigated, good example set by managers etc.), barriers to the development of a positive culture (e.g. inadequate resources, questionable decisions, focus on productivity, downsizing etc) etc.
HSE sell a tool to measure health & safety culture, called the "Climate Survey Tool".
Hope this helps, drop me a line if I can do anything else.
Kind regards
Nick

if one was to compose a list of the possible components of a safety culture,such a list might contain the following:
1.values(e.g the conviction that certain ways of achievinggoals or performing the tasks to achieve these goals)
2.attitudes(towards safety,and its importance in the scheme of things)
3.Norms(setting procedures,establishing customs practises ,and the extent to which they embrace safety
4.moral and ethical considerations(paramount in certain professions)
5.beliefs(how things are or should be)
6.perceptions(how things might work out-important in safety culture)
7.professional consideration.

IOSH Guidance on OSH Culture is freely available, under the Technical Information heading to the left. While it isn't a ready-made presentation, it does give you a summary of the key issues, plus references to some culture-measurement tools, etc.

Hi Marvin
You might like to look at our film "The Secret Siphon - Developing a Safety Culture" which we developed with the CBI based on their initiative with the HSE.
Regards
Duncan

The latest Policy & Practice (which can be viewed on-line) has a paper which proposes the replacement of Safety Culture by Safety Orientation. I have no opinion as to whether this is a good thing or not, but depending on who you are presenting to and why, it might be a nice cutting-edge new idea to present around,
John

I do have a PP on Safety Culture, but it is one used by a company to present its own version of SC to employees. Can be paraphrased as "do this or you swim home"
You might try the IOSH document "Promoting a Positive Safety Culture" downloadable from this site. Probably from the "technical information" pages.
Dom Cooper developed a "Reciprocal safety culture model" in which there are three fields or dimensions ; the person, the organisation of safety management and the work environment. These three dimensions are constantly interacting - events in one of the dimensions will affect the others.
He also wrote a pretty good book (I can see my copy from here) "Improving Safety Culture)
A report published by the HSC in 1993 said "that it is the product of people's values and beliefs, their behaviour, and their commitment to your health and safety programmes"
