Dave,
HSE produce an electronic Safety Climate Survey Tool. I've never used it, but it looks pretty good. It produces questionairres, analyses results etc.
Is there anyone who has actually used it?
I think it costs about £200, its in their brochure.

The HSE climate tool is excellent and my present company, a large conglomerate of firms in different businesses are in the throes of carrying out the survey now. It also comes with the software to process the results.
The downside of it is that it is a big questionnaire going to 70 statements that have to be assessed using a Likert scale.
Therefore it takes a lot of encouragement of the workforce to ensure that a large sample complete it. We suggest that the workforce are allowed a 30 minute break to fill it in.
Also if you have a sizeable workforce then the responses take a lot of processing by someone.
So if you have a organisation that is committed to measuring safety culture and learning about themselves and are prepared to make the investment in time and effort then it is for you.
However you can devise your own. I did this for my MBA dissertation as I could not persuade my, then employer to allow the workforce to have time to fill in the form or provide me resources to input the data received and analyse the results.
So you pays your money and.....

Posted By Nigel Lusby Dave, A tool is available online(1) which was referred to in a paper(2). It may prove to be adaptable and though it was created for the offshore industry, has the advantage of being provided free. Regards Nigel (1) Loughborough University,. 1999. Offshore Safety Climate Assessment tool [online] UK. Available from: http://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/ec/JIP/ (2) Cox, S ,J,.and Cheyne,A,J,T,. 2000.

A useful reference is the document "Changing Minds" produced by the UK offshore industry Step Change initiative - in particular the Safety Culture Maturity Model, which may help you think through where your organisationis at present. Details on how to obtain it are on the Step Change website (Step.steel-sci.org). It may seem a bit of a pain to register, but it's worth it when you get there!

Ian,
Enjoyed your article on the ILO MS Guidelines. What do you think of the guidelines? Similar to HS(G)65 and OHSAS18001? It seems to be based on the plan-do-check-act continual improvement theory. Is there things in it that can be added to existing management systems based on established systems?
