Factors that make up safety culture: a look at mining industry

Abstract

The efforts made by researchers to understand the dynamics of work-related accident prevention are remarkable but not enough to exhaust the subject. The occurrence of such events implies significant losses for society, organizations and families, in addition to the injured individuals subject to the accident. This kind of phenomenon that still happens in contemporary organizations requires not only a purely mechanistic view but also the understanding of interpersonal relations in the employment context, which refers to the organizational culture.
