Measure, Monitor and Improve Safety Culture
The safety culture index allows organisations to capture employee perception of safety to identify safety culture maturity.
The importance of measuring safety culture
The Safety Culture Index helps you measure what really matters—how your people think and feel about safety.
It gives you data to benchmark performance, identify gaps, and track change over time.
Whether you lead a site, a business unit or a whole organisation, it’s a practical way to turn culture into something visible, trackable and actionable.
Most safety programs focus on compliance and lag data. According to Safe Work Australia, safety culture is a key factor in managing both physical and psychosocial risks.
If you're not measuring it, how can you improve it?
