According to semi-structured interview, we can make sure the task characteristics of maintenance department and create subculture factor framework. Then we can design suitable questionnaire to collect subculture information. After that we use multiple regression analysis method to test our hypothesis, confirm the relations among those factors. Finally we can establish the safety subculture model of maintenance department via connecting with those relations. We found out the safety subculture factors in maintenance department include 5 phases: 1. Organization: “Commitment”；2. Equipment: “Equipment Aging”；3. Supervisor: “Supervision”, “Discipline”, “Risk Awareness”, “Knowledge Sharing”, “Employee Participate”；4. Team: “Improvement”, “Collaboration”；5.Individual: “Safety Attitude”, “Safety Practice”. We discovered that Supervisor: “Supervision”, “Discipline”, Team: “Improvement”, and “Collaboration” are very important to employees safety attitude. Besides, the creation of safety subculture in maintenance department is developed by top-down affection. It means the president of organization should announce a commitment about safety topic firstly, then push division manager pay more attention to safety. Superiors take safety topic as an important issue is good to improve teamwork atmosphere. By cooperation and improvement atmosphere, employees’ will take a more serious attitude to safety topic. Employees would like to get a more safety working-environment.
