Safety Behaviour and Culture in the Age of Advanced Safety Technology
Technology has never been smarter — yet incidents still happen.
Written by Active Training Team’s Organisational Safety Behaviour and Culture Specialist, Katie Carrier, our whitepaper discovers why focussing on safety behaviour and culture is essential in the age of advanced safety technology.
Across high-risk industries, organisations are investing millions in advanced monitoring systems, analytics, and automation. But the numbers tell a different story: despite innovation, safety performance often plateaus. This whitepaper explores safety culture versus technology and examines why.
Drawing on leading behavioural research and practical insights from ATT’s award-winning safety programmes, it reveals that the key to lasting improvement isn’t more data or devices — it’s culture. The paper examines:
- Why technology-driven safety interventions were up to 40% less effective in low-trust cultures
- How organisations with robust near-miss reporting systems achieve up to 72% fewer serious incidents
- Why workers override or ignore automated safety warnings between 49% and 67% of the time when they experience repeated “false alarms”
Packed with real-world context and evidence-based guidance, this is essential reading for senior leaders, HSE professionals, and anyone serious about creating safer, more resilient organisations.
