The paper examines the relationship between culture and safety on offshore supply vessels in the Norwegian petroleum industry, relying on both qualitative and quantitative data. The analysis makes a general description of cultural traits of the vessels studied, epitomized through the notion of ‘good seamanship’, and discusses the way these traits influence on safety. The results show a great deal of friction between aspects of culture and aspects of structure. In particular, there appear to be incompatibilities between the occupational culture on the vessels and the rule-based safety management approaches of the petroleum industry. Also, the results highlight the role of inter-group asymmetries in power and status in the definition of what constitutes safe working conditions. Finally, whether culture can (and should) be changed is discussed.
