Abstract

The objective of this paper is to clarify the conceptual characteristics surrounding Safety Culture in the case of corporate accidents. Based on a framework defined in existing corporate accident literature, high-reliability organizations and human error studies, we examined key preconditions discussed in the corporate accidents field.
Our findings reveal that Safety Culture possesses theoretical characters that it is based on the premise of an ideological organization without accidents, and that it is conceptualized the organizational culture that follows normative patterns.
