Polish term or phrase: o to aby pracownicy pracowali
W zdaniu:
Musimy stworzyć taką kulturę bezpieczeństwa w fabryce aby przestrzeganie przepisów bhp nie było ciągłą walką o podstawowe sprawy o to aby pracownicy pracowali:
-w odzieży roboczej i ochronnej (odzież czysta i wydana przez zakład)
- (...)
Mam tu problem z tą końcówką zdania, nigdy nie wiem, jaki czas dać po "so that".
Zaczęłam to tak:
we have to create such culture of safety in the plant so that obeying health and safety regulations wouldn’t be a continuous struggle for fundamental matters in order that employees:
- would work in protective clothing (clothing should be clean and given out by the plant),
ale nie jestem pewna tych czasów.
Dziękuję za pomoc.

Reference: What is a safety culture in the workplace?

Reference information:
- http://www.ehow.com/about_5489018_safety-culture-workplace.h...

A safety culture is made up of shared and accepted attitudes, beliefs and practices supported by documented policies and procedures throughout an organization. It is an atmosphere that shapes safe behaviors and practices. A safety culture takes time to create and results in everyone's commitment to safety as an important part of doing business.
