Review and promote safety culture
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
In the workplace, staff members must be able to assess compliance with the human factors and safety culture requirements referred to in legislation, and confirm that organisational policies and practices are consistent with the principles that support the integration of human factors and the development of a positive safety culture. They must be able to assess whether there is evidence of human factors integration and a positive safety culture, provide information on the key elements to which organisations can aspire, and promote the benefits of human factors integration and developing a positive safety culture. A key requirement is tailoring their approach to different organisations in order to achieve the required outcome. Staff must develop a good understanding of human factors concepts and principles to be able to promote their importance and explain the reasons for their inclusion in rail safety requirements for industry. Staff must be able to identify whether human factors requirements have been adequately embedded in an organisation's systems, processes and assets.
This unit covers the review of the application of human factors principles, and the review and promotion of safety culture within rail safety activities. The unit applies to rail safety regulatory staff and is not targeted towards experts in human factors and safety culture.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
