The report presents the results of a survey of safety culture in three Norwegian haulier companies, which are selected based on an assumption that they have good safety culture. The study supports the assertion that the companies have good safety cultures. This especially applies to Company A, which has the highest safety culture score of the three companies, and which also have a higher safety culture score than we have found in other transport sectors. This is probably due to the fact that Company A transports dangerous goods, which is a line of transport which has particular framework conditions favoring safety. The accident involvement of the drivers were in accordance with the companies score on the safety culture index. Analyzing the data on the three companies work on safety, we have identified the following common characteristics of good safety work in haulier companies: 1) Follow up of drivers speed, seat belt use and driving style, 2) Managers and employees safety commitment, 3) Predictability, 4) Organization of transport assignments, 5) Pay system, 6) Control of drivers compliance with regulations related to drive and rest, 7) Safety training/education, 8) Arenas for communication about safety, 9) Reporting culture and systems, and 10) Safety management system: a) risk analyses, b) procedures, c) training.
