Safety Culture

One of Pitzer’s areas of special interest is safety culture. Safety Culture. He has developed a model and methodology called e-Profile to measure and study safety culture in an organization.

The model was developed over a period of 20-years in Australia and recently became the benchmark in the Australian resources industry.

All the major resources organizations participated, including BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, Anglocoal, Xstrata, WMC, CSR.
