Safety Culture & Behavior-Based Safety
To ensure the best possible protection for employees, technical and organizational occupational safety measures must be supplemented by a behavior-based component.

Attitude Toward Workplace Safety
15%—typically negative and defensive
There will always be a small percentage of employees who find it hard to get excited about workplace safety.
70% somewhere in the middle
The majority of employees (about 70%) fall somewhere in between in terms of their attitudes. These employees are undecided and waver between negative and positive attitudes.
15% are positive and willing to help themselves and others
In contrast, however, about 15% of employees are self-motivated when it comes to workplace safety and are already taking on responsibility.
