As I understand, LOSA is a process or technique for identifying error through observation. Therefore LOSA/AUDIT training, as a group, associated with ‘no safety culture’ appears to be a most unusual task.

However, a group exercise based on “Combating omission errors through task analysis and good reminders,” J Reason might be suitable training for discussing error and observation of others.
Replace the questionnaire with a team observation task of other people’s activities, e.g Use an old photocopier, suitably set-up (unplugged, out of paper, etc) with an opposing team task (individually) to copy 2-3 pages with some urgency. Discus the observations, error, error origins, and solutions.

An alternative would be to illustrate the connection between errors (identified by LOSA) with the organisation, via a two sided discussion of an event – the person view (sharp end) vs the organisation view (blunt end). Classic James Reason work, but with caution as a dominant ill-informed management might win – presumably you don’t know why the industry has ‘no safety culture.
