WorkSafe Predictor
Measure Safety Mindset and Identify High-Risk Candidates Before an Incident Occurs
Understand Attitudes And Behaviors To Reduce Accidents And Focus Training
Most workplace accidents are preventable. Identify behavioural risk factors before an incident happens!
The WorkSafe Predictor is a 109-item work safety assessment that measures 8 behavioural scales to classify candidates as low or high safety risk. This tool is designed for all business and industrial settings with no industry-specific language. Results support both pre-employment screening and employee development decisions.
Applying WorkSafe Predictor Insights for a Safer Workplace
Everyday, employees make decisions that either decrease the likelihood of safety incidents or put themselves, their coworkers, customers, or product at risk. The WorkSafe Predictor reports on an individual’s safety mindset and provides a validated framework that professionals can use to bring consistency and objectivity to hiring decisions and training programs.
Hiring candidates with unknown safety risk…
Interviews don’t effectively reveal how candidates behave around hazards. You need objective behavioural data to support selection decisions.
…get objective safety behaviour data.
The WorkSafe Predictor classifies each candidate as low or high risk based on 8 validated behavioural scales.
You have no way to identify training needs objectively…
Current employees may carry behavioural risk factors that generic safety training does not address. You need targeted, data-backed development focus.
…targeted development with scale-level insight.
WorkSafe Predictor results reveal which of the 8 behavioural areas need improvement. Translate those results into focused safety training programs.
Safety culture built on inspections alone…
Physical site inspections don’t capture the individual mindset that drives incident involvement. Behavioural risk remains invisible without the right tool.
…one assessment framework for any role or industry.
The 109-item tool uses general language, making the assessment deployable across any industry, position or setting in approximately 20 minutes.
