Is ‘Safety Culture’ a nebulous construct, or even a myth, that obscures more than it reveals?
Or is its persistence because it provides a useful vehicle for explaining phenomena in organisations and groups?
Next week on Safe As YouTube, we unpack several articles (at least 10), from authors like Borys, Guldenmund, Schein, Silbey, Hopkins, Cooper and more, to unpack safety culture from both an interpretative and functionalist perspective.
The episode covers common critiques from the research, proposed links with areas of performance, and some lingering ambiguity.
This has been, by far, the most difficult episode to piece together, to try and keep a balanced and somewhat scientific perspective.
