The dissemination of the culture of safety: Innovative experiences from important infrastructures and construction sites

The Culture of Safety is the enduring value and prioritization of worker and public safety by each member of each group and in every level of an organization (Von Thaden and Gibbons, 2008). First, the Authors provide some considerations on the roles, tasks and responsibilities of the subjects involved, and reiterate the importance of an approach involving a strong motivation for the figures with real decision-making power. Taken into account what emerged in the International Meeting “the basic role of the clients of great infrastructural operations in the promotion of the Culture of Safety: management and communication strategies, contractual aspects, case histories and best practices”, SiTI, Turin, Politecnico, May 12th 2017, the Authors discuss – coherent to the original structured classification of the various aspects of the Culture of Safety into specifically designed sub-categories- the critical Occupational and Community S&H issues, and the responses of the clients.
