This is a sample cohort readout showing how your workforce naturally describes operational risk when reflecting on a shared story.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission defines 23 total attributes essential to a safety culture. This diagnostic is not a comprehensive 23-part survey. Instead, it measures the 8 core attributes present in the film The Inventor. These 8 attributes are emblematic of how information travels across a workforce during high-stakes operations, covering hazard recognition, information flow, and decision-making. Standard audits rarely capture the "S" attributes around speaking up. Our analysis of over 300 federal reports from the CSB, NRC, and NTSB shows that breakdowns in these exact communication channels precede major civil disasters.
Each response was read for the attribute it named most clearly. Here is the spread across the cohort.
Your team demonstrates strong shared vocabulary around operational teamwork (H.4) and past operating experience (P.5).
Language around speaking up (S.1) and alternate reporting channels (S.2) was largely absent across the cohort. This points to an opportunity to introduce shared terminology around escalating field concerns.
The specific subset of NRC safety culture attributes present in The Inventor.
| Code | Attribute name | Beat in the film | Cohort usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| H.4 | Teamwork | The man who knows how it works is not the man allowed to explain it. | 34% |
| P.5 | Operating Experience | Patented two years earlier. Demonstrated. Still on a shelf. | 28% |
| H.10 | Bases for Decisions | No chief ever says what is actually wrong with the hood. | 18% |
| H.2 | Field Presence | The chief turns him around like a mannequin, marvelling at the hood. | 12% |
| P.1 | Identification | Five or six chiefs saw it work and none recognised what it was. | 5% |
| S.3 | Free Flow of Information | Chiefs liked it on the telephone. None bought it once he walked in. | 1% |
| S.1 | Speaking Up | Told the invention was theft, and to be out of town by sunset. | 1% |
| S.2 | Another Route for Concerns | The only route left was to hire someone else to be him. | <1% |
Sample data from a pilot cohort, shown for illustration. Your own cohort's readout populates here once your team completes the diagnostic.
