Abstract

The present paper examines safety management and safety culture as psychological research topics and intervention strategies in the specific context of process control industries. Structured methods and techniques as well as new information technologies are pointed out as key issues of Safety Management Systems. Safety Culture as an up-coming concept in addition to traditional Safety Management is illustrated in terms of procedural non-compliance and implicit norms.
