ABSTRACT: Safety, along with the issue of security, is the most substantial and critical issue to any society and nation of the mankind. The fact that human elements contribute dominantly, in particular, to the transportation – marine, air and road traffic – accidents requires not only the technical approaches, but also cultural configuration inherent to the accidents. This paper tries to incorporate Hofstede’s dimensions of national culture to identify possible interaction with accidents. It will be of help to figure out the need to consider the aspect of national culture to be efficient in dealing with policies for safer communities and nations.
KEYWORDS: Safety Culture, Accident Analysis, Transportation Safety, Transportation Safety Perspectives, National Culture, Hofstede's Insights, Hofstede's Dimensions of National Nulture, Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions
