Employees play a key role in health and safety. It is important to look beyond the health and safety systems and understand how employees perceive health and safety at the workplace.
BCMSA is offering a FREE Safety Culture Survey to those in local government classification unit (753004). The survey enables organizations to understand, monitor and improve worker awareness towards occupational health and safety.
The survey is hosted by the BCMSA and The W Group. The W Group is an independent research firm specializing in municipal research. The W Group and the BCMSA ensure the confidentiality and anonymity of all responses gathered in the survey.
For small employers, the entire organization would be included in the survey. This approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of the overall safety culture within the company. For medium to large employers, the survey can be conducted within specific departments. This targeted approach allows organizations to identify and address specific areas where safety culture may need improvement.
It is recommended the organization runs the survey for two-weeks and achieves an 80% response rate. When an organization goes through the survey they receive a:
- Secure link to the survey
- Custom QR code
- Final report with summary of responses and suggestions based on priorities for improvement.
