I am wanting to undertake a climate survey at work but I understand that the HSE are reviewing their climate survey so is unavailable to use.

Has anyone used either the HSE's climate survey tool or constructed their own survey/questionnaire to try and establish the culture of their workplace? If so please could you give me some indication of how it went.

Many thanks

Yes, I've developed something from the HSE Research Report question sets, but don't have any software therefore survey groups have to be quite small!
Sent you some stuff via e-mail.You seem to be suffering some sort of gender crisis? :-)

Hi Susan

I have sent you a simple excel sheet of which includes climate related questions and once the data is inputted, it auto creates the various pie charts etc.

You need to write the word questionnaire out but this tool will help show the results and can be used to show results between different location or Staff levels. Customise as you please.

Very simplistic but useful questionnaire tool and I must warn you, this tool does not offer the same depth of analysis as the HSE tool does.


Regards
Jason Gould

Hi Susan,

I am planning to carry out a simple climate survey in my own organisation. Would you be able to share the information passed on to you by Jason Gould, as I have been trawling through academic references to find examples, but most are too complex or costly to purchase. Being able to develop a survey from an existing one would be very useful.

Regards

There's a good basic tool based on a 5-stage Safety Culture Maturity Model in the booklet "Changing Minds", which was developed primarily for offshore. However it has since been used in a wide variety of sectors, primarily by The Keil Centre. Last year I piloted its use in the charity sector, with RSPB and found it worked well (informal peer review by RSPB and Keil Centre, as I'm not a specialist in this area, and the results were a bit unexpected for a first climate/culture survey).

My analysis method was essentially manual, supported by an Excel spreadsheet, which worked OK for a sample of up to 70. A more advanced version of this 5-stage model is in the 'Personal Responsibility for Safety' toolkit, but I havn't used that.

Both references can be downloaded for free from Step Change for Safety website.
