Abstract
![CDATA[Safety management systems in Australian higher education organisations are under-researched. Limited workplace safety information can be found in the various ‘Universities HR Benchmarking Program’ reports, though they show only descriptive statistics. With the commencement of new consultation-focused regulations applying to many universities in Australia, the need to have a better understanding of the operation of organisational safety management systems has more prominence. This paper presents results from a ‘safety culture’ survey completed by humanities-related faculty staff (98 respondents, 14 per cent response rate) from three NSW universities. Based on analysis of the survey data, the safety culture in the three universities can aptly be described as unfinished business.]]
