The article describes the procedures for assessing safety culture, which includes nine stages. One of the main elements of such an assessment is the use of an appropriate questionnaire, which, with anonymity and prompt processing allows us to establish the real situation with the level of safety culture at an enterprise. The assessment of the level of safety culture was carried out on the example of five enterprises, and it was determined the stage for each of them (pathological, reactive, calculative, proactive, generative). Management decisions and certain measures to improve its level are taken based on the results of a comprehensive assessment, which in turn directly affects the economic security of an enterprise.
