The purpose of a country’s information security system is not only preventing risks but also addressing challenges by reducing risks, and using opportunities. This requires the observance of the safety culture from groups, as well as individual citizens. In the information and knowledge society, the information culture of its members should be considered the primary component of the safety culture. It is with good reason that preparatory tasks regarding the information safety system include activities of the so-called support elements: i.e. science, education and society. With proper organization, equipment and permanent training of their representatives, they contribute to raising the level of the safety culture of its representatives. The information culture in security and defense systems, thus, gains a whole new dimension. This, among other things, prevents the phenomenon of information exclusion, increases public involvement in the process of verifying information messages and support the implementation of the information policy of the state. It is recognized that the improvement of the safety culture with little regard for the information culture may result in the failure to produce the desired effects. Therefore, actions aimed at raising the level of information culture of citizens should be combined with efforts serving to improve their safety culture.

In this paper the authors present the issue of the significance of values in the operations of members of detached policegroups. Members of such groups usually operate in contexts referenced to the situations threatening core values, where thereis a conflict between being secure and having a lack of security during the operations of the unit. The two states mentioned abovedeserve special consideration when discussing issues understood as components of the first pillar of a safety culture. The authorsput research questions concerning possible links between values and other variables highlighted in the research, their dependenciesand level. The values reported and thoroughly researched in the Schwartz scale are an excellent instrument for describingand explaining human behaviour in situations of making choices and accepting challenges. The usefulness of this instrumentwas confirmed in this study which obtained interesting research results on the relationship between values and identifiabledemographic variables in the studied group. The authors of the project believe that the issue of values operationalised in the tasksis a useful tool for the interpretation of the behaviour of officers who are members of detached groups. Situations where individualand public security is threatened are usually included in the specificity of the contexts in which uniformed services and securitystaff operate. When conceptualising the issue of attitudes and values it is necessary to undertake research of an internationalcharacter. Research in other cultural conditions allows account to be taken of both the specificity of the mechanisms of creationand the functioning of the system of values, as well as confirmation of their universality. It also seems advisable to focus ona conceptualisation aimed at ordering the understanding and interpretation of key concepts in the field of values. This can begreatly facilitated by the use of methods for the study of personality already employed in subsequent studies carried out by ourresearch team.

As a result of the growing pace of life and developing civilization in which important factors are the crisis of values, the misunderstood idea of freedom and the willingness to achieve success quickly (by taking a shortcut), a new area of threats can be observed. They are caused by faster pace of life that is related to technical development which, in turn, makes us place higher demands on ourselves both in respect to our physical and psychological fitness. Contemporary world requires people to take care of their bodies. This is related especially to taking care of our bodies through the prism of the myth of beauty. The ideal of beauty promoted by mass media is difficult to achieve for an average human being and impossible to achieve for the majority of people in a satisfactory time period. Therefore, reflection on experiencing corporality as an aesthetic value in reference to safety culture seems to be both interesting and significant. High safety culture is related to high values ascribed to human health and life as well as keeping the boundary between essential risk, which is an integral part of life and development, and ensuring safety and protection against threats. The axiology of physical activity and issues of movement, fitness, health and beauty of human body related to it is one of subject of interest in safety culture. The aim and specification of actions in the field of body axiology is description, interpretation and analysis of facts related to human corporality which have sense and therefore are a value.

This study consists of two parts. The first contains a theoretical interpretation of lexeme taboo with a particular emphasis placed on the issue of etymology and varied semantics of this concept. This analysis is based on the use of dictionary definitions as well as ethnological and linguistic research. It is also significant to reveal the connection between tabooisation and security culture. The second section is an attempt of response to the question on the tabooisation of the subjects related to body and sexuality in the youth newspaper. The analytic part is intended to depict ways and reasons of this phenomenon. The combination of theoretical description and examples study is meant to illustrate the concept of safety in the context of taboo – the concept, which is nowadays defined not only as a military category, but also as a quality valued as safety culture.

Culture is the totality of the material and spiritual heritage of humanity, gathered and adhesion should be shaped a person’s life from an early age. The main role in this process are: the family home and the school. It also applies to the process of the formation of the student to the broader safety culture, which creates and maintains all attitudes and actions to protect the health and life. The law on the education system for the dissemination of knowledge among youth about safety and the development of appropriate attitudes towards risks, however, it seems that this system is not sufficient. Central Institute for labour protection-materials developed a “culture of safety”, which constitute an invaluable added value in the process of training students at all levels of school education.

Safety culture – along with quality and environmental culture – determines a positive image, competitive advantage and financial benefits. As a result, interest in this category continues to grow (CE or B certification). Safety culture can be considered from the point of view of philosophy, sociology, anthropology, economics and management as evidenced by Andrzej Chodyński’s rich compilation of terms, definitions and points of reference. The aim of the article is to look at safety culture as an object of economic accounting, thus treating safety culture as an economic category and answering the questions: can safety culture be an object of operationalisation based on the principle of dualism dominant in accounting and, therefore, can safety culture be a measurable category using the general profitability index? These issues are particularly important from the perspective of Safety First companies. The answers to the research problems posed are provided by a literature analysis, an analysis of financial documents and a case study. For the identification and valuation of safety culture, the generalised ROAH was used. The article thus resolves the measurability of safety culture and introduces, verifies and evaluates a tool grounded in accounting theory.

Objectives The research is aimed at ways of shaping the culture of societal safety based on factors determining the profile of social readiness to conduct operational activities in the face of natural and technical disasters. Material and methods We used elements of the concept of network analysis of Gomez, Probst and Ulrich, as well as the model of safety culture of Cieslarczyk. On this basis, methodologies of network analysis and designing ways to shape the culture are formulated. The network analysis was used to determine the system of factors affecting the social readiness profile and the possibility of influencing individual elements of this system. The adopted design methodology is presented using an algorithm of conduct. Results The key role of strengthening and building practical experience has been proven. The legitimacy of doing this in close relationship with educational processes is emphasized. In addition, gaps in the network of relevant factors are indicated. Conclusions Specific guidelines for shaping culture of societal safety are included in the catalogues of methods and activities. Moreover, research restrictions are discussed. Areas of further scientific research in the considered context are also indicated.

Ergonomic culture can be explained as a component of general safety culture related to ergonomic working environment on the one hand, and computer users’ attitudes towards ergonomically safe computer use, defined by work safety regulations, on the other hand. Both those aspects are important components within general safety culture. The article analyses various factors of ergonomic culture in different environments in Latvia, as well as partially in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

The importance of safety culture is gaining importance in various areas of management, including crisis management. Safety culture is considered an important factor conditioning the achievement of a high level of safe operation of the rescue system. The concept of safety culture is ambiguous and does not have one universal definition, or a model solution. It becomes necessary to make an attempt to define the concept of safety culture in the area of crisis management. The most important feature of safety culture in the crisis management system is the ability to implement the principles of safe operation despite the existing threats. A high level of safety can only be achieved by using tested systems and procedures while strongly involving human resources in safety culture activities.

Znaczenie kultury bezpieczeństwa zyskuje coraz większe znaczenie w różnych obszarach zarządzania, w tym także zarządzania kryzysowego. Kultura bezpieczeństwa uważana jest za ważny czynnik warunkujący osiągnięcie wysokiego poziomu bezpiecznego funkcjonowania systemu ratowniczego. Pojęcie kultury bezpieczeństwa jest wieloznaczne i nie posiada jednej uniwersalnej definicji czy rozwiązania modelowego. Konieczne staje się podjęcie próby określenia pojęcia kultury bezpieczeństwa w odniesieniu do obszaru zarządzania kryzysowego. Najbardziej istotną cechą kultury bezpieczeństwa w systemie zarządzania kryzysowego jest zdolność do implementacji zasad bezpiecznego działania pomimo istniejących zagrożeń. Wysoki poziom bezpieczeństwa można osiągnąć jedynie w przypadku stosowania sprawdzonych systemów i procedur przy jednoczesnym silnym zaangażowaniu zasobów ludzkich w działaniach na rzecz kultury bezpieczeństwa.

The notion of “culture” is presented and analysed at the supranational, national, and organisational levels. Reference has been made to the concept of “safety culture”. The various dimensions of safety culture have been discussed, and the very notion of safety culture has been scrutinised from a subjective perspective, as well as in the implemented areas of operations, in particular in the energy industry of EU countries. Safety culture has been analysed with reference to safety as a value in its own right. It has been emphasised that the analysis of the social structuring in management may be important in the analysis of organisational aspects. It refers to authority and communication between people who make up the entire social community. The importance of safety culture has been described at various organisational levels, particularly for high-reliability organisations. The meaning of the isomorphic phenomenon has been analysed. The spread of safety culture has been analysed in the context of two pillars of this culture: personal safety (the mental and spiritual pillar), and social safety (the organisational and legal pillar). Within these pillars, emphasis has been placed on the importance of congruence of personal values of employees and organisational values. Attention has been paid to the meaning of social and civic values. Within the cultural context, emphasis has been put on the meaning of the internal and external alignment of an organisation, as in the creation of the safety culture, social and organisational aspects operate together.

Zbadano pojęcie „kultury”, rozpatrując je na poziomie ponadnarodowym, krajowym oraz organizacji. Odniesiono się do pojęcia „kultury bezpieczeństwa”. Omówiono wymiary kultury bezpieczeństwa. Omówiono kulturę bezpieczeństwa w ujęciu przedmiotowym i realizowanych obszarów działalności, w szczególności w energetyce krajów Unii Europejskiej. Kulturę bezpieczeństwa omówiono, odnosząc się do bezpieczeństwa jako wartości. Podkreślono, że w analizie aspektów organizatorskich istotna może być analiza struktury społecznej w zarządzaniu. Dotyczy ona władzy i komunikacji pomiędzy ludźmi tworzącymi całość społeczną. Opisano znaczenie kultury bezpieczeństwa na różnych poziomach organizacyjnych, w szczególności dla organizacji niezawodnych. Przeanalizowano znaczenie zjawiska izomorfizmu. Dyfuzję kultury bezpieczeństwa rozważono w kontekście dwóch filarów tej kultury: bezpieczeństwa indywidualnego (filar mentalno-duchowy) i bezpieczeństwa społecznego (filar organizacyjno-prawny). W ramach tych filarów podkreślono znaczenie kongruencji wartości osobistych pracowników i wartości organizacyjnych. Zwrócono uwagę na znaczenia wartości społecznych i obywatelskich W kontekście kulturowym uwypuklono znaczenie wewnętrznego i zewnętrznego dopasowanie organizacji. W tworzeniu kultury bezpieczeństwa występuje współdziałanie aspektów społecznych i organizacyjnych.

It still remains an open problem as to which directions and methods are necessary to choose in the situations of risk, xenophobia, and intolerance, so as to settle disputes and resolve conflicts; it should be done in such a way as to have the desired social effects and to properly implement moral principles, including responsibility for the real future of one’s own, of one’s community, and of the whole human species. The author justifies the position that the processes of transformation of the social order should take a more remarkable account of the requirements of safety culture and praxeology recommendations.

ObjectivesAmong occupational sectors, construction is still one of the branches with the highest reported numbers of work-related injuries and diseases, which can even lead to death and in many cases induce permanent health consequences. The vast majority of these occupational injuries and diseases are preventable; accordingly, an improvement in preventive strategies, also through a better knowledge of the main factors involved in these events, is one of the most important objectives for better occupational health and safety in the construction sector. Considering the individual factors associated with a higher risk of work-related adverse health effects in workers, an inadequate perception of occupational risks is among the most relevant issues. Risk perception can vary according to different cultural backgrounds, highly influenced by ethnicity, and it affects the relations between workers in the work environment, and the way by with they undergo the specific occupational tasks and manage risky situations frequently occurring on construction sites. Accordingly, the aim of the authors was to develop a new tool for the assessment of risk perception in construction workers with different ethnic backgrounds.Material and MethodsA team of health and safety experts involved in the training of construction workers from various ethnic backgrounds and in different regions of Italy developed and validated a questionnaire-based tool for the evaluation of their risk perception. Furthermore, through a factor analysis, a reference model defining various dimensions of occupational risk perception, relevant for the different ethnicities, was identified.ResultsThe final tool included 12 items aimed to assess the associations between the ethnic background and occupational risk perception of construction workers. The authors identified 4 relevant dimensions: behavioral control, work conditions, safety climate and personal attitude.ConclusionsThe proposed tool should be considered to explore the appropriate ways for the development of effective preventive strategies for construction workers with different ethnic backgrounds in Italy.

The environmental determinants constitute the third group of factors determining the safety of the social service workers. They constitute an important complementation of the presented concept of the triad of safety determinants. They include the following factors: family environment, professional environment (work), social attitude towards social services, social status and professional prestige, legal culture and safety culture. This catalogue is open and flexible. Its capacity can be increased in the course of discussion of the issues connected with safety of the social service workers.

Research background: Despite a dynamically growing exploration of broadly understood employee participation, there is still space left for more in-depth or new analyses in this area, and occupational health and safety (OHS) serves as a good example in this respect. In empirical studies, employee participation in the field of occupational health and safety is not treated as a separate element of ensuring safety in the organisation, but only as a minor element of occupational health and safety management, or as just one of the elements building a safety culture. Purpose of the article: The aim of the paper is to propose a synthetic measure of active employee participation in OHS taking into account the depth and scope of this participation. A comparative analysis of the level of active participation of OHS at medical facilities and in other sectors of the economy was also performed. Methods: The theoretical model for active employee participation in OHS was tested by means of a survey using the PAPI (Paper & Pen Personal Interview) method. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used. The developed construct (characterised by an adequately high level of validity and reliability) was used in a comparative analysis of medical institutions with other sectors of the economy with the use of the Mann?Whitney U test. Findings & value added: This research fills the theoretical gap in the model approach to participation in OHS. It has been found (EFA and CFA analyses) that active employee participation in OHS consists of one dimension (15 items). The model for active employee participation in OHS and the universal measurement scale developed and validated in this study represent a step forward towards the effective and reliable measurement of employee participation. In addition, the research has shown that the level of active employee participation in OHS at medical facilities is lower than in other sectors of the economy. The added value of this paper results from the approach to measuring employee participation in OHS which takes into account the depth and scope of this participation. The tool is consistent with international regulations and standards in the field of OHS, and thus can be used in other countries to assess active employee participation in OHS, regardless of the size and profile of the company or the sector of the economy.

After the fall of communism in 1989, XXI century brought continuous changes in the way how state defense is perceived and how the citizens participate in creating it. A few decades of social malaise caused by the atmosphere prevailing in the country engulfed in the communist dictatorship resulted in a significant degeneration, also in the paramilitary activity of the citizens. However, after the period when any grassroots initiative was regarded suspicious ended, there came a revival of public benefit organizations and any broadly understood citizens’ initiative. This also applies to defense and the creation of so-called safety culture. Its development is not easy. It Involves creating a lot of new structures and, most importantly, changing of the social consciousness of the citizens. Based on the Academic Legion of the Catholic University of Lublin, the article describes one of the elements of the security system of the Republic of Poland, which is formed by paramilitary youth organizations. Their main purpose is to promote patriotism and to help create civil society. They are also one of the most important elements of safety culture.
