abstract="Open-ended interviews were conducted with senior managers and front-line workers in a Canadian hard rock mine following the introduction of a new set of safety principles to guide employee decision-making and behavior. The interviews were transcribed and coded for statements that suggested alignment or misalignment with each principle. Results indicate that, relative to front-line workers, senior managers were significantly more aligned with principles dealing with injury prevention, management accountability, and rule following. Contrasts between front-line workers with above-average safety records and below-average records revealed only one significant difference: above-average workers were more strongly aligned with the principle &quot;working safely is good business&quot; than their below-average counterparts.<p />",
