Abstract:An organization’s safety culture can influence safety outcomes. Research and experience show that when safety culture is strong, accidents are less frequent and less severe. As a result, building and maintaining strong safety cultures should be a top priority across the transportation industry. This research paper identifies the most important elements of a strong safety culture, and highlights opportunities for developing the Department of Transportation (DOT) strategy for improving safety culture in transportation.
