Safety is non-negotiable in mining operations and production environments, where a single lapse in judgement can lead to serious incidents, injuries, or fatalities. Safety assessments—like Testgrid’s Safety Assessment (SSA)—are purpose-built to identify individuals who may be more prone to taking risks, breaking rules, or underestimating hazards.
These assessments evaluate critical traits such as risk aversion, rule adherence, situational awareness, and conscientiousness, helping employers make more informed hiring decisions before candidates even step onto site.
Used during recruitment, safety assessments act as an early filter to flag high-risk behaviours. But their value also extends into workforce management and development. Safety profiles can be revisited to tailor training, support performance reviews, or guide conversations about behaviour improvement. When combined with behavioural and aptitude assessments as part of a comprehensive mining recruitment safety assessment strategy, companies gain a full picture of how someone is likely to think, act, and respond in safety-critical situations—ensuring only the most safety-conscious individuals are selected and supported throughout their time on site.
