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.
Customisable to include the organisations logo, write a personalised
introduction, choose the most appropriate demographic responses, and tailor the
terminology used in the core statements
Automatically analyses the responses and generates a useful summary
report of the results
Compares and examines employee and management results
Creates bespoke reports by your chosen demographics to highlight key
priorities going forward
Provides suggestions for next steps and recommendations in how to
address them
Can be used at any time from your own secure web account, making the
process simple, quick and convenient
Ability to benchmark data against industry standards
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.

safety performance further.
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." Burton's Foods
