The Safety Culture of an organization can be assessed by looking into indicators such as incidents/ accident, sickness rates, absentteism, staff turn over, non compliance to the rules and worker complaints.

The factors which could lead to deterioration of H&S culture include: Lack of leadership commitment, Blame culture, H&S receiving low priority, organizational changes, poor management system and procedures etc
