Conflict of Interest

The authors have stated that there is no conflict of interest.

Stage	Description
Pathological, Vulnerable	There are no security actions at work. The actions taken are only concerned with meeting labor legislation.
Reactive	This is characterized by health and work security actions only in case of the occurrence of an accident. Thus, it only aims at answering the event, without sequential actions.
Calculative (bureaucratic), Compliant	The organization has a risk management system in the workplace. However, the actions are more concerned with the quantification of risks.
Proactive	This is a transitory stage towards the constructive culture stage. The organization leader takes into consideration the values of the company, performs continuous improvements for security and health at work, and searches for anticipation of problems.
Constructive (sustainable), Resilient	There is an integrated system of health, security, and environment, in which the organization is based, in order to orient and perform its actions. The organization carries the necessary information to manage work security and constantly aims at improving and constructing an environment with fewer labor risks.

Factors	Description
Information	Refers to the reliability of the collaborators in reporting possible flaws or processes that caused or can cause accidents or occupational diseases.
Organizational learning	Represents the way in which the organization uses information related to work safety, its analysis, improvement proposals, and actions facing events.
Involvement	Deals with the level of engagement of collaborators facing subjects related to work safety inside the organization, referring to the analysis of incidents, improvement proposals, and procedures implementation.
Communication	Indicates the form, opportunity, and convenience in which information related to work safety is explained, if there is an effective communication channel between leaders and subordinates, and if this information is perceived by them.
Commitment	Refers to the resources employed in work safety, by the status of work safety in relation to the factory floor and the existence of an Occupational Safety Management System which contains the vision and objectives of the organization.
