The attitudes of individuals are greatly influenced by their working environment. The key
to an effective Safety Culture in individuals is found in the practices moulding the
environment and fostering attitudes conducive to safety. It is the responsibility of
managers to institute such practices in accordance with their organization's safety policy
and objectives.

authority. Managers ensure that work on matters related to nuclear safety is carried out in
a rigorous manner.
Managers ensure that the staffs are fully competent for their duties. Instruction instils

of mistakes arising from misconceptions or lack of diligence.
