SAFETY – CAN DO SAFELY
Safety Assessments
Our safety assessment goes beyond compliance, capturing the behaviours, attitudes, mental capacity, and aptitudes that drive safe performance.
Confidence in your employees’ ability to work safely means better hiring decisions, stronger risk management, and a safer environment for staff and customers.

SAFETY ASSESSMENTS
Situational Safety Assessment (SSA)
The Situational Safety Assessment (SSA) is designed to assess an individual’s safety risk and their capacity to operate safely within the workplace. By evaluating their safety competency, behavioural tendencies, perspectives, and mental state, the assessment provides valuable insights into the candidate’s ability to perform their duties safely and effectively.
The SSA assessment is a fast and accurate means of assessing candidates for their vulnerability and propensity to safety hazardous behaviour. With its high-test reliability and predictability, along with its low-cost online delivery, the test provides instant reports that can help augment the organisation’s safety defenses, in addition to and beyond systems and engineering remedies for the workplace.

SSA Data
By utilising our Situational Safety Assessment (SSA) and other assessments, employers can gain valuable insights into candidates’ safety strengths and weaknesses, allowing them to identify potential safety risks in the workplace. Investing in your employees’ safety and well-being is essential in creating a Health and Safe Environment (HSE), and can promote productivity, reduce absenteeism, improve retention rates, and boost employee morale.

Safe Hiring
When recruiting safe employees, it’s important that your recruitment process is optimised to find low risk candidates.
We have broke this down into a 5 stage cycle that starts with you attracting the right candidates, screening them for the relevant experience, cognitive ability, safety awareness, qualifications etc. then understand how these methods relate to on the job performance. This data can be reused for continuous improvement to ensure you hire safe workers consistently. We call this utilising your data.
From here you can tie in your psychometric data into your safety reports by comparing your near misses and incidents before and after you implemented the SSA.
Benefits & Use Cases
- Construction workers
- Maintenance technicians
- Emergency response personnel
- Tram, Bus and Train drivers
- Factory operations workers
- Assembly-line personnel
- Mining personnel
