Sažetak

Organisational culture has a significant impact on the quality of work in companies and organisations, making its planning and adoption a generally recognised means of ensuring safety and health at work. In introducing the policy and strategy of safety and health at work in an organisation, it is useful to take into consideration the importance of the safety culture as one of the crucial elements for successful achievement of the set aims. With this purpose in mind, a theoretical and empirical study was conducted on the safety culture. The theoretical aspects of the study were based on an analysis of relevant international and domestic literature in the field of general culture and safety culture and its various facets, such as values, ethics, habits, etc. In the empirical (practical) part of the study we applied the survey method to gather quantitative data.
The survey comprised a study of the field of integral management, values and principles, development and education of the employees, management and its effectiveness, and innovations and improvements. The sample was composed of all 159 employees in a company. The responses in the survey indicated that the awareness regarding safe and healthy work was at a high level, with an average 84% positive answers and an average of 6% negative answers. A model was proposed incorporating those elements that should be developed to further improve the safety culture in the company. The findings shall prove to be a useful tool for those believing that safety culture can be used as an effective tool in the management of safety and health at work.
