No matter the nature of your business’s work, workplace health and safety are among the most important facets of day-to-day operations.
No matter the nature of your business’s work, workplace health and safety are among the most important facets of day-to-day operations.
Whether you have staff who work on a warehouse floor with forklifts and BT machines or you run a business where employees are stationed at desks, their physical safety remains just as critical in both scenarios.
The workplace physical safety survey aims to provide your business with key insights into how effectively and appropriately you are accounting for and mitigating the many physical safety risks that can exist in workplace settings. With these insights, you can make necessary, critical changes to improve your workplace health and safety compliance.
The workplace physical safety survey assesses your business’s safety efforts by surveying employees in three key areas:
In this section of the survey, we look into the nature of your employee’s role and how readily this exposes them to potential physical and psychosocial hazards. Physical hazards include things such as exposed cables or visual blind spots in a warehouse, whereas psychosocial hazards are related to emotional/psychological risks such as harassment, bullying, or interpersonal conflicts. We’ll also gauge their awareness of their WHS rights and the responsibilities your business has to uphold these rights, as well as how empowered they feel in participating in and influencing safety practices at work.
This section of the survey focuses on assessing your employees’ perceptions of the company’s current WHS policies, your demonstrated commitment to these policies and practices, and where they feel current barriers to WHS improvements exist. Conversely, it will also assess where they feel opportunities exist to improve.
The final section will ask your employees about any new or emerging issues they’ve observed that they feel could be of concern to workplace health and safety. We also provide them with room to provide suggestions on effective harm-prevention measures for these new issues.

If you want to know where your biggest sources of workplace safety hazards exist and how they need to be addressed, then insights from your employees are critical. While third-party workplace safety assessments are equally important, gauging feedback from employees is how you identify the hazards and risks that might have otherwise been missed during preliminary assessments.
Because workplaces and associated safety needs change over time, having on-the-ground insights from your team is a great way of closing the gaps between what is and is not being accounted for.
