Abstract
The safety of the organization is influenced by various factors. In order to increase the level of safety, it is necessary to focus on these factors and to influence them the right way in order to enhance their level. Regarding the safety, safety culture is one of the endogenous factors of organizations.
 Safety culture issues have not been given much attention so far, although a safety culture can play an important role at a complex level of safety for the organization. In order to increase the level of safety culture, it is required to assess its current state of play. The process of assessing the organization's safety culture is dealt with by one of the institutional grant projects at UNIZA's Faculty of Security Engineering.
 The elaborated article focuses on the first part of this process, which is the identification of the safety culture sub-sectors and safety culture indicators. Safety culture indicators serve for evaluation of identified sub-sectors, the values of which will be further used to assess the complex level of the safety culture.
 The article identified 6 safety culture sub-sectors and twenty safety indicators. The individual indicators were later allocated to the corresponding subsectors. In addition, the relevance of each subsystem, which can help to better assess the safety culture, has been celebrated.
 The methods of analysis and description, as well as the explanation methods, were used to process the article. The results of this article are useful to the professional public, the security science students, as they extend the theoretical foundation of organization security. The results of the article can also be used by any organization looking at the possibilities of analysing its safety.
Highlights
Security and safety are becoming one of the priorities of each organization
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Group of staff stated that the safety culture applies to the personal commitment and responsibility of all individuals involved in any activity affecting the safety of nuclear installations
The safety culture was at the center of interest, in order to optimize the impact of corporate culture on employee safety behavior (Slováčková, 2015)
Summary
The security and safety of the organization are affected by several internal and external factors, including the safety culture. This respective organizational safety factor has not yet been described in detail and its direct relationship to the organization's safety is not sufficiently demonstrated. Another emerging problem is the identification of tools for assessing safety culture. This article focuses on answering the following questions: Which subsectors constitute the organization's safety culture? By answering these questions, we will open a description of the proposed process of assessing the organization's safety culture
