The Safety Culture Maturity Model

 🧩 Learn Something New! – The Safety Culture Maturity Model

Every organisation’s safety culture evolves step by step — from ignoring safety to making it a way of life.

This model helps you understand where your team stands and how to move toward true safety excellence.

🚦 The Five Stages:

1️⃣ Pathological: Safety ignored – “We only care if we get caught.”

2️⃣ Reactive: Safety by concern – “We take it seriously after an accident.”

3️⃣ Calculative: Safety by system – “We have procedures and audits.”

4️⃣ Proactive: Safety by behaviour – “We act before something happens.”

5️⃣ Generative: Safety as a way of life – “Safety is who we are.”

💡 As culture matures, injury rates drop and teamwork grows.

Safety becomes more than a rule — it becomes a value shared by everyone.
