Hi there,
I would like to ask the board if anyone has used or is using the HSE product "Health and Safety Climate Survey Tool" and if they are (or have), what is your opinion of this tool and would you recommend it, or if there is another similar tool would you know where to find one?
Cheers
Joe

We used it three years running. I was never very keen, the questions have a manufacturing bias and are fixed, which didn't suit my needs. The first time I used it as an awareness campaign for Health & Safety on site, after that it got less useful. I don't know of any others, and I would certainly use it in place of nothing, but I preferred to develop something more site specific

A few companies I know have used it and found it useful. Last time I met Norman Byrom (a while back now) I seem to remember him saying he was looking to revise the tool. You could try contacting him at Rose Court and asking him.

Posted By Ian Waldram The best document I know for comparing/contrasting this type of tool is "Changing Minds", published by the offshore industry group Step Change in Safety. The research was partly HSE-funded, Appendix 3 specifically covers 6 different climate survey tools and assesses their quality under several headings. The document is available from www.stepchangeinsafety.net - you have to sign in, but its free. It has an offshore industry bias, but much of it is fully applicable to other sectors.

Surely, the critical question here concerns what you are trying to discover.
Unless you are in the blessed situation where you can assume a high response rate, the greatest challenge is likely to be getting people to answer your questionnaire.
To get a reasonably high response rate, arguably is it not worth investing some time and thought in devising a questionnaire in language accessible to your respondents and with content that arouses their interest?
Existing survey instruments may serve as useful references in this exercise.

Designing your own tool is not that difficult. The difficulty lies first in the interpretation : once you have the responses how do you analyse them. Secondly, how do you judge if your analysis is valid and coherent with other established and tested tools.
I would suggest that you use any one of those "tried and tested" and adapt the vocabulary to your situation without changing the sense of any of the questions. In this way you should be able do the necessary analysis and be confident that you have the right answers.
