Vector Process Methodology
Safety Climate: The temporal state measure of safety culture, subject to commonalities among individual perceptions of the organization. It is therefore situationally based, refers to the perceived state of safety at a particular place at a particular time, is relatively unstable, and subject to change depending upon the features of the current environment or prevailing conditions.
Safety Culture: The result of individual and group values, attitudes, competencies, and patterns of behavior that determine the commitment to, and the style and proficiency of, the organization’s management of safety. Organizations with a positive safety culture are characterized by communications founded on mutual trust, by shared perceptions of the importance of safety, and by confidence in the efficacy of preventive measures.
By managing your safety climate, you, as a leader, are able to reshape the culture of your organization, thus controlling an important influence on incident potential.
