Safety Check
Workplace Safety Assessment
A research-informed assessment designed to evaluate personality characteristics and cognitive abilities linked to safe workplace behaviour, helping to identify and reduce workplace risk.
Safety First: Understanding and Reducing Workplace Risk
Safety Check is a research-informed workplace safety assessment designed to evaluate personality characteristics and cognitive abilities linked to safe workplace behaviour. Drawing on established academic findings, the tool identifies characteristics linked to an increased likelihood of accidents, injuries, non-compliance or risk-taking in the workplace.
Creating safer workplaces requires more than policies and procedures — it also involves understanding the human factors that influence behaviour. Individual characteristics and tendencies can significantly affect how people respond to risk, follow safety protocols and make decisions in high-pressure environments.
This assessment supports organisations that recognise the role of personnel factors in building a strong safety culture. By highlighting individuals who may require additional support, development or monitoring, Safety Check enables more informed selection, placement and safety management decisions, contributing to reduced incidents and improved workplace wellbeing.
