Safety
Culture Assessment
TACG offers stand-alone or
integrated assessments of organizations' safety cultures. The stand-alone option
can be conducted at any time and is a quick and efficient method to collect data
regarding your current safety culture. The integrated option can literally be the starting point of the implementation of your organization's SMS.
The safety culture assessment
is conducted by use of a simple survey. We use our proprietary Safety Culture
Assessment Tool (SCAT) to gather employee attitudes related to such constructs
as Norms, Complacency, Fatigue, Communication, and Teamwork. Once these data are
collected they are then analyzed and the results are written up in a succinct
and clear manner. The SCAT results can then be used to understand the current
health of your organization's safety culture. Types of cultures can range from
pathogenic (who cares about safety) to generative (safety is how we do business
around here) or somewhere in between.
A healthy culture is so
important these days that the NTSB incorporates a "corporate culture checklist"
as part of its accident investigation process. The checklist was developed to
address the potential organizational influences of accidents and incidents. In
other words, if you have an accident and the NTSB conducts an investigation,
your organization will absolutely be required to answer questions related to
your safety culture. To put the importance of culture into context consider the
