Safety climate tool
The latest report from Health and Safety Executive (HSE) shows that 27.3 million days were lost due to work-related ill health or injury in the UK last year.
What’s not clear, however, is how many of those illnesses and injuries were preventable if the proper practices were implemented and forward planning were in place.
In response to this identified need for proactive health and safety, Acclaim, Capita’s Health & Safety Accreditation business, has recently partnered with Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL) in order to utilise its Safety Climate Tool.
The online tool is essentially an anonymous survey, which enables management to gain an honest understanding of employees’ and suppliers’ attitudes and perceptions of H&S in key areas of its business.
The Safety Climate Tool offers benchmarks against HSL’s average and industry dataset. The software will also provide accurate next steps of how to improve identified aspects of weakness.
The platform is available online now and can be found at: http://www.hsl.gov.uk/products/safety-climate-tool
