This module will introduce the concept of a culture of safety: what it means, and how such a culture can be established. Examples from healthcare and other industries will be used to illustrate key themes, including:

We will also meet Tim, who previously worked for CCC and is now employed at HHH. Through his eyes we hope to illustrate the differences between institutional cultures.
