Summary

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.

Safety Climate Tool Survey

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.

Safety Climate Tool Survey

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

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 its extensive benchmarking dataset allows you to compare performance against industry standard
