Perceptions of organizational safety: implications for the development of safety culture

Article Abstract:

The perceptions of 312 British Rail senior managers, supervisors and train drivers concerning the importance of 25 railway factors is studied. Estimates of the ratings of the other levels was given by each level. The results showed that intergroup perceptions were not realistic despite a shared perception of the importance of safety. Thus, the development of mutual trust and understanding between levels depends on accurate intergroup perceptions for the foundation of a positive safety culture.
