Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Questions? We have answers.
Building and sustaining a strong safety culture is a journey.
Here are some of the most common questions organisations ask when they begin or advance their safety culture transformation with Consultivo.
What is a safety survey, and why is it important?
A safety survey gathers employee feedback to understand perceptions about workplace safety, leadership, and communication. It helps measure the overall safety climate and supports continuous improvement efforts.
Safety surveys are powerful tools that help organisations understand how employees and contractors feel about safety at work. A well-designed safety perception survey provides clear insights into the existing safety culture, identifies hidden risks, and highlights opportunities to strengthen the overall culture of safety.
How is a safety perception survey different from a safety culture survey?
A safety perception survey focuses on employees’ attitudes and feelings about safety, while a safety culture survey evaluates the deeper organisational systems, values, and leadership behaviours that influence safety outcomes.
Can the survey be used as part of a safety culture assessment or audit?
Yes. The employee safety perception survey forms a critical part of a broader safety culture assessment or safety culture audit, providing data-driven insights that guide strategy and improvement planning.
Does Consultivo offer follow-up training after the survey?
Absolutely. We offer a range of post-survey interventions including Safety Leadership Training, Behaviour-Based Safety (BBS) Training, and coaching programmes to help build and sustain a stronger culture of safety.
What is a Pulse Survey in the context of safety?
A pulse survey is a short, focused questionnaire sent out frequently (e.g., monthly or quarterly) to quickly gauge employee sentiment and perception regarding safety.
Unlike a long annual audit, it measures immediate feelings about recent safety initiatives, compliance changes, or current workplace hazards. Its primary goal is to provide a real-time ‘temperature check’ on the safety climate.
