Work in the food industry involves many elements that can increase risks related to occupational health and safety. Several studies have reported a high accident prevalence and frequency in the food industry, and health and safety at work within the industry requires improvement. Safety culture maturity models allow the assessment of the current situation and identification of development needs. Research in the food industry has not focused on the maturity of the occupational safety culture although food safety and the related culture are widely studied. The aim of this research was to describe the state of the perceived safety culture in four Finnish food industry companies by applying a maturity model and related self-evaluation survey. The results showed that the safety culture and related satisfaction were at a relatively good level in the studied companies. The theme of management commitment received the highest scores and employee commitment and involvement and training the lowest. The same themes were ranked highest and lowest in all personnel groups, indicating a shared understanding of safety culture in the studied companies. The most important targets for improvement included managers’ and supervisors’ training, systematization of training, how organizations shared safety-related information, and rewards for safety performance.
