Hi all, I need to prepare a SMALL set of questions, potentially to be included in a general staff survey to start measuring peoples buy in/understanding/etc of safety at work. I've seen the HSE tool and it seems a bit lengthy for what we want. Just wondered if anyone had any experience of undertaking safety surveys, whether 40 questions really are better than 4, and whether the results produced anything usable... Thanks A.

Hi, I am looking at this too as part of my diploma - and because we need to establish our culture here. I have 16 questions to ask and am just waiting for the directors to give me the nod to proceed. As I was finalising the survey this week IOSH put out the results of their 2010 your job, your life survey. I am awaiting permission from IOSH to duplicate these questions and multiple choice answers before adding that to the survey. Then we can compare results to the national perception. I have hunted around for question and design 'inspiration' on the internet and found examples that confirmed my work and layout. The information is out there but it takes a bit of trawling. Have a look at the Texas form below. Some good design but the tick boxes for job, department, length of service, etc etc must surely narrow responses down to small groups of individuals. I have only asked for length of service and level of seniority. http://www.uth.tmc.edu/s...uestionnaires/index.html

Hi, the HSE produce a leaflet on safety culture that has a short set of questions; that is a good starting point. HSE Human Factors Briefing Note No. 7 - Safety Culture. PH

Hi, I've used a pre-made survey created some time ago by Loughborough Uni. It was created for the Off-Shore industry but the questions apply to all types of work. It can be quick and easy or very comprehensive depending on what you're after - its up to you. It easily downloadable for free if you search under "Health & Safety Toolkit" & "Loughborough Uni" Or I can send you a copy I've re-typed and re-formatted Regards Andy

Hi, as part of my BSC diploma I had to devise a safety climate question set. I ended up with approximately 42 questions, which resulted in a poor return rate from the surveyed teams. Advice from BSC is to settle on around 15 questions, this is appropriate for the purposes of the assignment but may not be suitable for a more in depth analysis of the safety culture for your company. The HSE have produced a variety of documents which may assist in the creation of the survey/culture review. (listed below) 1. Safety Culture Maturity Model. Keil Centre for the Health and Safety Executive. Offshore Technology Report 2000/049. HSE Books. 2. Summary guide to safety climate tools. MaTSU for the Health and Safety Executive. Offshore Technology Report 1999/063. HSE Books. 3. Evaluating the effectiveness of the Health and Safety Executive’s Health and Safety Climate Survey Tool. Keil Centre for the Health and Safety Executive 2002. Research report 042. HSE Books. 4. A review of safety culture and safety climate literature for the development of the safety culture inspection toolkit. Human Engineering for the Health and Safety executive 2005. Research Report 367. HSE Books. These are pretty good in creating a question set. What you have to consider after is the results and also any other factors which may affect the staff members answers to the questions (such as redundancy, etc) Hope that helps... G
