A Tool to Assess Aspects of an Organization's Health and Safety Climate

摘要

This paper describes a tool that has been developed by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) for organizations to use to assess aspects of their health and safety climate. The tool consists of a 71 -statement employee questionnaire, a guidance booklet and computer software which generates the questionnaire and enables easy analysis of the data produced. It was made available in December 1997 and some 500 organizations across all employment sectors including high hazard industries have purchased it. The primary purpose of the tool is to promote employee involvement in health and safety and to provide information which can be used as part of a continuous improvement process.
