The fact that you’re on the S-CAT website means you’re already taking action to improve your company’s jobsite safety climate and are ready to take the next step by using this free confidential tool. The S-CAT can be used by individuals or companies:
All individuals who complete the S- CAT will receive a report containing their responses compared to aggregated averaged responses from others in the S-CAT database. The report also identifies areas of strength and potential growth. All data entered are completely anonymous. No personal identifiers or contact information is collected.
A Company can ask their employees to complete the S-CAT anonymously. The report generated describes the company’s overall safety climate maturity, identifies areas of strength and potential growth, and compares their data to benchmark data. Companies can use the first report as an internal benchmark of their safety climate maturity, and have employees re-take the S-CAT periodically to track their company’s progress.
If you are interested in a company-level report all you have to do is:
- Contact Dr. Linda Goldenhar at lgoldenhar@cpwr.com. She will need the name of the company, approximate number of people who will be asked to complete the S-CAT, and the start and end-dates for employees to complete the survey.
- She will give you the S-CAT link and a randomly generated unique company code (used to compile the company-level report).
- You will send an email to your employees containing the S-CAT link, the unique code they need to select, and the date by when they need to complete the S-CAT.
Once the end-date deadline is reached, we will send you or your designee the company-level report that you can share with your employees. Employees completing the S-CAT will also receive an individualized report when they submit their answers.
Your company-level report will be completely confidential.
Your company’s name will NOT be included in the database.
