Safety culture are the common beliefs, values and attitudes that a company have for safety

and the working environment. A good safety culture is characterized by a management that

has a high priority on security issues and the issues are addressed at all levels. The purpose of

the study is to investigate how to develop a good safety culture further from todays relatively

high level. We have conducted qualitative interviews at three different levels in a company

and visit a construction site to observe the unloading of building material. We chose to look at

unloading as the company we partnered with focuses on increasing safety at that operation.

The study shows that work isn’t always carried out as planned due to a lack of custom

solutions, wrong attitude, perceived stress and the desire to be effective. In order to create a

better safety culture, it’s important to involve and motivate the workers. Safety must permeate

all processes and the leaders has an important role in this work. In order to improve attitudes

and behaviour towards safer work, it’s important to be consistent. By learning and discussing

from your own and others experiences, you can avoid making the same mistake.

Communication should be clear and it is important to follow up what you communicate. An

openness in the workplace makes everyone comfortable to stop risky moments.
