The paper presents a theoretical approach to the problem of culture in an organization, and next relates it to the narrower aspect of this concept, safety culture, especially the culture of work safety. Safety culture to a very large extent is related to the attitudes of employees and employers to the issues of occupational safety and health. The paper presents the results of research on the evaluation of safety culture in a company from the industrial sector. The education of employees was assumed as the comparison criterion of selected areas shaping the development of safe behaviors, such as work organization, safe behavior or safety communication.
