Since its first use in the wake of the Chernobyl accident in 1986, the safety culture concept has become an established part of safety research. It has especially been applied in what is considered high-risk settings like the nuclear industry and in aviation. It has, however, also been applied to other transport sectors, including road. This paper provides a general outline of the safety culture concept and a specific discussion of its application to the road sector. After presenting an introduction and background to the relevance of the safety culture concept, we discuss what safety culture is, how it can be measured, how it has been applied in studies of professional drivers in the road sector, how it has been (and can be) applied to nonprofessional road users, and finally how the safety culture perspective can be used to inform safety interventions.
