Sorry, we crossed! My last comment refers to your first one

I'd think it was more physical than that. See the trusty Collins for defs of acondicionar/acondicionamiento (shop fittings, etc). Although "bien acondicionado" means someone is affable/nice, that doesn't really apply here. Nice though that might be!

I think you are right Carol, fittings and structure is an issue in safety. I'll probably go along with that

David Brown (asker) May 25, 2008:

As I said, it is one of the headings for areas of improvement. Its all I have as it is a short article which does not give any details of what is included in these areas. I was thinking of just using "conditioning" i.e People needed to be conditioned to accept a patient safety culture

Please David, provide more context. An example sentence would be good.
