A positive safety culture is one in which the whole is more than the sum of its parts. Based on a collective commitment to success and mutual trust, staff members are encouraged to improve teamwork and communication. Regardless of professional background, technical expertise, or position within an organization, each employee is urged to maintain a questioning attitude and be responsive to change.
