Introduction: It examines the influence of safety culture on the likelihood of incidents in high-danger industries. The goal is to see if encouraging a robust safety culture will ultimately lead to fewer incidents and better safety performance.
Methods: Following that, the researchers conducted a detailed literature review to search for matching studies and data on safety and safety culture and their relationship to incidents, especially in high-risk industries. Next, a meta-analysis was performed on the findings to determine the overall impact safety culture has on incident reduction.
Results: The analysis found a statistically significant positive correlation between a high level of safety culture and a decrease in incident frequency. Compared to industries with weak safety culture, industries with strong safety culture had significantly less number of incidents. This effect applied to all high-risk industries, including oil and gas, aviation, and construction.
Conclusions: This study finds that safety culture is an important factor in preventing incidents in high-risk industries. Organizations expound on a robust safety culture by communication, training, and leadership. When applied properly and consistently, it can cause safety performance to be visible and improve, decrease the frequency of incidents over time, and help keep people and plants safe.
