Safety Climate Tool

The Safety Climate Tool (SCT) has been developed by the Health and Safety Laboratory

(HSL), who are part of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). The SCT is a robust,

scientifically rigorous and validated psychometric assessor of an organisation's safety

culture. The SCT measures the attitudes and perceptions of the workforce about health

and safety and uses 40 statements across eight factors to measure safety culture

quantitatively within the Agency. The output by way of a report provides an

understanding of the safety culture, by summarising the views and experiences of our

colleagues.

The results can be used to support ISO45001 accreditation

Using the SCT will enable the Agency to focus on the outcomes and make targeted

improvements to further enhance the safety culture.
