What would be the best tool for evaluating employee attitudes about workplace safety?

Providing actionable insights to address and manage organisational safety climate.

Every employer has a legal duty to assess and protect employees under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.

HSE's Safety Climate Tool has been carefully designed by scientists to assess the attitudes of individuals within an organisation towards health and safety issues.

The Safety Climate Tool delivers an objective measure of your safety culture - the 'way things are done' in your organisation when it comes to health and safety. This is a significant starting point for any organisation to continually improve and raise standards.

Using a simple, online questionnaire, the Safety Climate Tool explores your employees' attitudes and perceptions in key areas of health and safety, while guaranteeing anonymity.

Once the survey has been completed, it generates a comprehensive report and provides guidance that will help improve the organisation's safety culture.

What is safety culture?

Safety culture' is often referred to as "the way things are done around here". It's a combination of the attitudes and values held, the behaviours and the management system within your organisation or departments, that influences how something is done, rather than how it should be done.

Poor safety culture has contributed to many major incidents and personal injuries and can be just as influential on safety outcomes as the organisation's safety management system itself.

Watch as HSE�s Chartered Psychologist Jennifer Webster guides you through the process of understanding and managing organisational safety culture.


Benefits of using Safety Climate Tool

Reduce the number of accidents and near misses - use as a leading indicator to proactively measure and improve safety culture. Evidence shows that a strong safety culture is associated with fewer workplace injuries.

Utilise resources - data can be segmented in a range of different ways to identify good practice as well as areas for improvement, such as location or hierarchy. You can then pinpoint key focus areas and take action to change unsafe behaviours.

Support the journey to ISO45001 accreditation - use the SCT to enhance your evidence base. While ISO 45001 is not a legal requirement, proportionate adoption of a health and safety management system standard like ISO 45001 can help businesses measure and evaluate their performance.

Benchmark your organisation's health and safety culture - not only does the SCT help you understand your own safety culture, but it's extensive benchmarking dataset allows you to compare performance against industry standard.

Organisations using Safety Climate Tool

Over 200 organisations both in the UK and overseas are proactively using Safety Climate Tool to measure and improve their safety culture. It is used and trusted by organisations of all sizes, across all industry sectors.

Furthermore, customers frequently report to us that, as a result of using the SCT, they have achieved greater engagement and commitment to health and safety from employees, have reduced the number of accidents at work, reduced costs and have demonstrated better leadership.

"We decided it was time to start a structured safety culture journey. The SCT aligns well with our core values and integrated management systems, particularly regarding continual improvement. Being able to quantify our people�s perceptions across the eight factors has been invaluable as a �snapshot� of where we are and will be the main tool we use in measuring our progress. When combined with responses to the open questions, we have been able to build up a reliable picture of our safety climate."
