  abstract     = {{It has been close to 40 years since the Chernobyl accident and the introduction of ‘safety culture’, but still there is no consensus on its meaning. This thesis aims at exploring what meanings the Swedish nuclear industry has created out of ‘safety culture’ by situating the construct both contemporarily and historically, using a methodology inspired by phenomenology. The results show that the Swedish safety professionals believe in an approach based on understanding how structures and prerequisites shape culture(s) and that culture manifests through various patterns over time. The interviewees differentiate between safety and culture while also recognising the relationship between them, where culture can favour or disfavour safety. There is, however, a gap in mental models and language between the safety professionals and engineers working in the industry making it difficult to convey these created meanings. There are also signs of external power, trapping the safety professionals between staying true to their own beliefs and forced simplifications.}},
