The process is more important than the product.”

James Reason, “Managing the Risks of Organizational Accidents.”

Doing the right things, even when no one is watching.

“The safety culture of an organization is the product of the individual and groups values, attitudes, competencies and patterns of behavior that determine the commitment to, and the style of proficiency of, an organization’s health and safety program”  James Reason,

The safest organizations have more effectively committed themselves to controlling the risks that may arise from mechanical or organizational failures, environmental conditions and human error.

The organization collects and analyzes “the right kind of data” to keep it informed of the safety health of the organization – collects, analyzes and disseminates information on incidents and near-misses, as well as proactive safety checks.

James Reason.
