Why is it important?
There are different ways of measuring the factors that affect safety performance, safety performance itself, and related organisational outputs but none that reach into all corners of an organisation in the way that a well-designed, model-driven safety climate survey does. Over the years, we have found that safety climate data - despite their faults and limitations - are increasingly sought by management because they are reliable, they have proven to be sensitive to known organisational trouble areas, and they are available for everyone.
Perspectives
The publication gives a good account of what we are doing but does not elaborate on some of the challenges facing users of safety climate instruments, such as the best ways of presenting the data, the issue of norms, and recommendations that flow from a survey.
