Abstract

This paper researched how to verify the 32 safety culture elements based on the research of the task group. Through the research of the verification literature of safety culture elements, five aspects of safety culture verification were obtained: safety culture elements induction, data analysis of safety culture quantitative measurement, extraction of safety culture elements in accident cases, extraction of safety culture elements in enterprise interviews and interpretation of safety culture elements. 53 safety culture elements were inducted by safety culture elements. Through analysing the quantitative data of safety culture, it is found that Element 24 had no significant difference among the two extreme groups, and the discrimination was low. In the accidents case, 28 elements of safety culture were extracted, so that 5 of the 32 elements were removed, and finally 27 safety culture elements were obtained.
