functional analysis, structured 

interviews, behavioral observations, and 

surveys. The functional analysis will 

involve the review of documents and 

discussions with mine staff in order to 

gain an understanding of the 

organizations’ intent with regard to the 

behaviors that contribute to safety 

culture. After the functional analysis 

has been conducted, interviews with 

different positions across the 

organization will be conducted. The 

interviews will provide information 

about the employees’ perceptions 

regarding the values of the organization 

with regard to the behaviors important 

to safety. At the end of the interview, 

interviewees will be asked to complete 

4 behavioral anchored rating scales on 

topics discussed during the interview. 

This tool provides the interviewee with 

another way to express their opinions 

and attitudes about some of the 

behaviors important to safety culture. 

Additionally, behavioral observations 

will be conducted of activities such as 

shift turnovers, training, meetings, and 

responses to events to gain an 

understanding of the organization’s 

behaviors in real time. Finally, an 

anonymous survey will be administered 

which provides a quantitative and 

objective way of collecting information 

about the organizational behaviors 

important to safety culture. 

The use of multiple methods to assess 

safety culture is a key aspect to the 

methodology. After all of the 

information has been gathered, a variety 

of statistical and qualitative analyses are 

conducted on the data to obtain 

conclusions with respect to the mine’s 

safety culture. The results from these 

analyses will be presented in a report 

describing the status of the behaviors 

important to safety culture at that mine. 

This project will provide 

recommendations for the enactment of 

new safety practices or the enhancement 

of existing safety practices across the 

underground coal mining industry. This 

final report will present a generalized 

model of a positive safety culture for 

underground coal mines that can be 

applied at individual mines. In 

addition, all study measures and 

procedures will be available for mines 

to use in the future to evaluate their 

own safety cultures. 

There is no cost to respondents other 

than their time.
