Safety Climate Assessment Tool (S-CAT)
The Safety Climate Assessment Tool (S-CAT) is a free resource available to any construction contractor or safety and health professional who wants tailored and actionable information to improve their company’s jobsite safety climate. A strong jobsite safety climate has been shown to have a positive impact on safety and health outcomes, and be predictive of reported injury rates. (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022437518304444)
With just a few clicks, company employees, including management, answer questions about eight research-based leading indicators of jobsite safety climate.
Once finished, a report is generated that contains feedback about high and low scoring indicators and includes comparative scores from individuals at other construction companies who have taken the S-CAT.
With the report in hand, users can click on the Improve Jobsite Safety tab to find safety management ideas for strengthening low scoring indicators. After making improvements, the company can use the S-CAT periodically to track progress at improving jobsite safety climate.
