“Culture??”
• What is it?– A set of shared values and behaviors from all
levels– The way people act in carrying out their duties
• What is it NOT?– A policy, program, or procedure
• Why is it important?

Safety Perception Survey
• Set of questions that reflect the attitudes of employees
• Gives us a baseline of where to start making improvements (beyond inspection findings) and where the strengths are
• Find gaps between management and staff (knowledge, perceptions, etc)

Why are we doing this?
• Non EHS/lab staff have not been polled before
• Injury data suggest that it’s time to take a closer look at how work is being done
• Empower all employees/stakeholders with a voice for their personal safety and the safety of their co-workers.
• Provide employees with the tools to make positive change.

The process so far…
• Getting final OK for language in the survey – Originally very company/production oriented
• Union staff– More concern from those supervising– Need to sell to staff as a way to have a voice
