A Case Study of the Health and Safety Culture within Cardiff School of Sport, examining
the organisation’s approach to the management of health and safety and the deployment
of processes and procedures. The accepted five priorities in achieving a positive culture
were considered. Purposive sampling was adopted to identify appropriate subjects for the
research. Semi-structured interviews (n=4) and content analysis were used to interpret the
data. Areas for improvement identified were (a) communication, (b) importance to move
away from a risk averse society, and (c) the reporting analysis of near-misses. The
organisation should use a range of approaches [digital communication, group discussions,
and suitable training] to improve employees’ understanding and knowledge, leading to the
creation of a sustainable and effective health and safety culture.
