      • To :
      • Achieve Common Goals
      • Establish predictable behaviors (norms)
      • Keep order and to keep people from killing each other
    5. Vocalize Stereotypes and Prejudices
      • Stereotypes are a form of superstition
      • Everyone has prejudices
      • Stereotypes and prejudices only have power as long as people remain silent about them.

    8. Expect and Identify Differences
      • Cultural differences go far deeper than language
      • Sometimes a different culture will have a better perspective
      • We don’t always understand that when we export a culture final product is a hybrid of the two cultures involved
      • It is far easier to build a culture that capitalizes on diversity and differences than on homogeny
    9. Cast the Vision of the Culture you want to create
      • What are the best elements of each culture?
      • To What do we as an organization aspire?
      • Ensure that your policies reinforce your desired safety culture
    10. Be Flexible
      • Some things that seem essential in one culture are not important in other cultures
      • Sometimes we don’t really understand why we do things we’ve always done them
      • Constructive conflict can be used to develop strong bonds and a good cultural foundation
      • Recognize that the off-shore safety culture may differ distinctly from the culture of your domestic locations
    11. Don’t Cop Out
      • Don’t blame the other culture for not adopting your rules
      • Actively engage those who behave differently than from the desired state
    12. Conclusion
      • Every organization has a Safety Culture
      • Cultures develop to protect their members and govern behavior
      • You must first understand your own culture’s strengths and weaknesses before trying to export it
      • Casting the vision of the culture you want to create is an important step in exporting a safety culture
