Abstract

Accidents at work are one of the most important problems encountered in the working life. They can occur at any department for many reasons, such as careless behaviour, inappropriate training, lack of motivation, poor task design and inappropriate safety measures. Safety culture is a concept that has been emphasized in the recent years on the prevention of occupational accidents. This paper presents the effects of safety culture on work safety and safety performance. Method: A survey has been applied on 98 workers at a Slovenian company. According to the results a positively significant relationship between the safety culture variables and safety performance variables has been found. Furthermore, a significant difference between demographic variables such as gender, work experience and years of work has been obtained.
