"Because human behavior is a contributing cause to most incidents and injuries, safety excellence can only be achieved by addressing the human dimensions of safety. Reducing at-risk behavior and increasing safe behavior requires understanding how such behaviors are motivated by system and cultural influences. Developing and sustaining a supportive safety culture hinges on understanding and applying the principles of behavioral science and person-based psychology to build tools and methods which encourage personal responsibility and interpersonal interaction about safety."
