How does workplace an industrial culture affect the organisation respond to OHS issues?

Workplace and industrial culture significantly influence how an organization addresses Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) issues. A culture that prioritizes safety fosters open communication, encouraging employees to report hazards and near misses without fear of reprisal. Conversely, a culture that undervalues safety may lead to neglect of OHS protocols, resulting in increased risks and potential accidents. Ultimately, the prevailing culture shapes the commitment to proactive safety measures and compliance with regulations.
