Abstract
Safety culture could predict the incident rate, but the injury data cannot forecast safety culture. Safety systems believe that safety is the management’s responsibility, but safety culture interventions emphasise that safety is an individual’s role to behave safely and also to support others. The big question is, are employees safe at workplaces? Most corporates are not willing or able to decide between safety enforcements and a positive safety culture because they are not open to learning about the insights of safety cultures’ positive effects on business. It is hard for them to think of safety beyond profits, production and business perspective until a major fire or fatality-like incident take place that impedes their business badly. The corporates cannot take the risk of not practising a positive safety culture strategy and a management action plan. As forecasting mechanisms, it is critical to know also the periodicity aspects of safety culture transformation, and that behaviour-based safety (BBS) 1.0 and 2.0 both together transform the safety culture into a positive work culture. Based on the comprehensive literature reviews and insights from the field practitioners, this paper describes ten stringent measures of forecasting the best safety culture more accurately towards achieving vision zero.
