Title Can we predict safety culture? Safety culture analysis by agent-based organizational modelling
Abstract Safety culture is broadly recognized as important for operational safety in various fields, including air traffic management, power plant control and health care. However, relations between safety culture and formal and informal organizational structures and processes are yet not well understood. We aim to improve the understanding of these relations by agent-based organizational modelling and thus provide a way for structured improvement of safety culture in the frames of the project CARE INO III. In this talk some of the project's outcomes will be discussed, comprising modelling, simulation and validation of an agent-based organizational model for a particular Air Navigation Service Provider.
