Safety

Overview

The TRG safety range includes The Employee Reliability Inventory (ERI®) and Psyfactors Situational Safety Awareness (SSA®). These are valid, reliable, psychologically based assessments to help select high performing and productive employees. They assess an applicant's level of general work behaviour. These tools are particularly useful where workplace accidents, unplanned and uncontrolled turnover, inventory shrinkage, productivity issues and overall job performance are important concerns.

The Employee Reliability Inventory (ERI®) Consists of 7 scales: Safe job performance. Freedom from disruptive alcohol and illegal drug use; Courtesy, Emotional maturity, Conscientiousness, Trustworthiness, Long term job commitment.  The inclusion of both Integrity and Safety measures in this assessment make it a particularly useful tool.  It has been adopted by a number of Australian Companies as a frontline selection assessment.  Download a Sample Report for more details.

The Psyfactors Situational Safety Awareness (SSA®) identifies an individual's safety competency in terms of their ability to see, understand and project the risks around them. The comprehensive competency based Situational Safety Awareness test and its abbreviated counterpart, the Behavioural Safety Test (BST®) test, measure job safety readiness in major hazard facilities. The tests are legally defensible and provide a practical defence to Australian OHS Act requirements.  Select this test if safety is the absolute concern in a hazardous or dangerous environment.

  • Jet transport: 65-85%
  • Air traffic control: 90%
  • Maritime vessels: 80-85%
  • Chemical industry: 80-90%
