Safety Climate Tool logo Every employer has a legal duty to assess and protect employees under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.

HSE's Safety Climate Tool has been carefully designed by scientists to assess the attitudes of individuals within an organisation towards health and safety issues.

The Safety Climate Tool delivers an objective measure of your safety culture - the 'way things are done' in your organisation when it comes to health and safety. This is a significant starting point for any organisation to continually improve and raise standards.

Using a simple, online questionnaire, the Safety Climate Tool explores your employees' attitudes and perceptions in key areas of health and safety, while guaranteeing anonymity.

Once the survey has been completed, it generates a comprehensive report and provides guidance that will help improve the organisation's safety culture.

Reduce the number of accidents and near misses - use as a leading indicator to proactively measure and improve safety culture. Evidence shows that a strong safety culture is associated with fewer workplace injuries.

Utilise resources - data can be segmented in a range of different ways to identify good practice as well as areas for improvement, such as location or hierarchy. You can then pinpoint key focus areas and take action to change unsafe behaviours.

Support the journey to ISO45001 accreditation - use the SCT to enhance your evidence base. While ISO 45001 is not a legal requirement, proportionate adoption of a health and safety management system standard like ISO 45001 can help businesses measure and evaluate their performance.

Benchmark your organisation's health and safety culture - not only does the SCT help you understand your own safety culture, but it’s extensive benchmarking dataset allows you to compare performance against industry standard.

Customer testimonials

"It’s just a matter of making it real for them so they can see that actually a culture is a reality and measuring it can be linked to incidents and then you all know more precisely to a degree where the areas are you need to concentrate on and you can actually go and work on those…you can focus into particular areas rather than just having this sort of all encompassing, do everything to everybody type approach which just wastes resource."
Qinetiq

"Quickly realised this is something we can use and be of great benefit to us and what I really liked about it is you simply hit the button and it produces the report for you. Additionally, I like the discipline of it and you cannot manipulate the data. That was an excellent gem that we got from this…one of the benefits of the tool, because you can download more of the charts, we can do more in depth analysis to recognise that it is not about throwing more [resource] at it, it is about better managing it."
Scottish Water

"The Safety Climate Tool has provided us with useful data that allows us to understand our current safety climate and identify the areas of our business that we should target in order to make long-term, sustainable improvements."
