Targeted Assessment of Safety Culture Sustainment Processes Objectives and Lines of Inquiry
The purpose of this targeted assessment is to examine progress in monitoring and improving safety culture. Evaluating maturity in safety culture is consistent with the Department’s expectations for continuous improvement, oversight’s role, and DOE’s understanding that expertise in managing culturally develops over time. (Note that the phrase ‘managing culturally’ is used intentionally in a maturity sense to distinguish between efforts to manage safety culture as a compliance type program vs. using cultural insights to improve safety and performance.)
