That paper quotes 1998 research and says: Kim, Park, and Park reiterate the atomic origins of safety culture but introduce Jerry Johnsons Cultural Web and the work of Kurt Lewing. The researchers advocate for a national approach to workplace safety and their comments on safety culture and prevention culture should resonate with OHS professionals and safety regulators everywhere.

- The number of certified occupational health and safety (OHS) professionals is irrelevant as the laws have existed for much longer and it is the laws with which employers must comply, not the advice of the OHS professional.
- It says that this decline has been shallower than necessary because OHS management systems are “not effective in workplace with a poor safety culture.”
