It is also possible (but unlikely) that the Survey will yield no new information about the safety attitudes and opinions of employees? this would, nevertheless, be an important finding because it would confirm the accuracy of management's knowledge and understanding of their people. To summarize, the Survey is a potentially valuable self-assessment tool which will help the site better understand itself. Data from this Survey, when carefully considered in combination with other relevant information, can be used by site management, with assistance from their SSOH consultant, to formulate constructive action. OPTIONS The following are two ways to enhance the value of this inquiry: e No changes can be made in the Survey questions, in order to retain the statistical validity of the Survey. However, sites may wish to include a supplemental questionnaire of their own development (perhaps in conjunction with their S&OH consul tant) , which will cover areas of special interest to the site. "Customizing" the inquiry in this way is encouraged, since it will help focus on issues which are site-specific or which the Survey may not have addressed as comprehensively as the site would like. Because data on those additional items would be obtained in the controlled environment and from the same people as the Safety Climate Survey, it would be an efficient way to maximize the collec tion of useful data. (Feedback from a supplemental inquiry will be raw data and percents? comparisons are not possible.) Management may choose to repeat the Survey after one or two years. By doing so, trends can be identified and tracked which will help monitor progress toward long-term safety goals. RHC:msh 8/23/84 0101S-1229S DUP 0501217 DU 001280.38
